The 2020-21 campaign delivered a powerful European return for Real Betis as Los Verdiblancos, under the astute guidance of new manager Manuel Pellegrini, surged to an impressive 6th-place finish in La Liga, securing a coveted spot in the Europa League. Leading the charge was the clinical centre-forward Borja Iglesias, whose 11 league goals proved decisive, anchoring a side also featuring the influential creativity of Sergio Canales and Nabil Fekir. It was a triumphant year that marked the successful resurgence of the team, with captain Joaquín providing veteran leadership, and remains a defining chapter in the club's return to consistent continental competition.
