Pumps for Real and Betis

Betis and Real Sociedad will have to face tough, but precious groups in the Europa League that was drawn in Istanbul. The txuri-urdines were framed in group B together with Monaco, PSV and Sturm Graz; the Betics, on the other hand, with Leverkusen, Celtic and Ferencvaros.

La Real will repeat its presence in the tournament for the second consecutive year. They must be measured against two teams that come from the previous Champions League, such as Monaco and PSV. Both were on the verge of qualifying against Shakhtar and Benfica, which is why they are considered to have a very high level for the Europa League. Players like Gakpo and Madueke, from PSV, have shown themselves in the previous rounds and will be a danger for Real. Of course also the Monaco of Cesc Fàbregas, relegated in recent times to the substitution. The Austrians of the Sturm Graz will be the other rival of the San Sebastian.

As for Betis, they will have the difficult mission of playing against historical teams with a long history in Europe. Leverkusen has been a regular in the Champions League in recent seasons and reflects well the current impact of German football with young and projected players. It will also be very nice to visit Celtic Park, a historic place for Betis fans in case they can move. Another historical, the Ferencvaros, completes the group.

In other groups, there were very striking pairings such as Naples and Leicester in C or Lazio and Marseille in E. Although there are none of the greats of Europe in advance in the tournament, the presence of many class clubs average – plus those who will fall as third since the Champions League in December – give great interest to the tournament.
