Game recap
Real Betis return to the UEFA Champions League after a 21-year absence with a difficult opening-night trip to Lille, where Manuel Pellegrini’s side will look to carry their strong domestic form onto Europe’s biggest stage. Lille arrive unbeaten in Ligue 1 and offer a dangerous blend of youth, physicality and attacking quality, while Betis will rely on their experienced creative core to make an immediate statement in the league phase.
