Over the weekend, the Seville derby drew astonishing crowds, with 46,731 fans witnessing a pre-match training session and 58,538 attending the game. Betis triumphed over their fierce rivals, Sevilla, with a final score of 2-1. The electric atmosphere at Benito Villamarin echoed with enthusiastic chants and fanfare, as first-time attendee Antony dos Santos likened the experience to Brazilian football. Despite trailing initially, Betis's rally and subsequent victory were celebrated with fervor, highlighting the derby's significance and emotional weight, making it a momentous event for players and supporters alike.
Antony dos Santos, stripped to the waist and sitting on the goalkeeper Adrian San Miguel's shoulders, heaved a giant flag through the air. This is incredible, he said, and it was.
Celebrating something that, right there in the moment, felt even better: they had beaten rivals Sevilla 2-1. A goal down... Johnny Cardoso's superb volley and Cucho Hernandez's sharp finish before half-time gave Betis a deserved victory.
The atmosphere inside the Benito Villamarin was electric; smoke rising round the home fans as they belted out the club's anthem, squashed together like cannon balls.
It was a record 58,538 fans still inside and still singing late into a night they'll never forget.
