Betis took the lead through Sidnei before being equalized by Karim Benzema’s penalty. Betis’ winning goal was thanks to Cristian Tello in the last ten minutes of the match.

“We lacked intensity, especially in the first round. We didn’t play at the speed we wanted and we let the opponent take control of the ball. “We lost important points, but we believe we can fight until the end of the season,” Raphael Varane said at Soccerway.

“We are trying very hard to get back to the top and today is a decrease in everyone’s quality. We still have a lot of games left to play and we’re sure we will get that intensity back, “Raphael Varane added.
