Outstanding performance
Real Betis•MidfielderReal Betis produced a dominant second-leg performance to cruise into the next round with a commanding 4-0 victory that sealed a 4-1 aggregate triumph over Panathinaikos. The Spanish side took control early through Aitor Ruibal's close-range finish after Cucho Hernández struck the crossbar, setting the tone for a clinical display. Sofyan Amrabat's spectacular strike from distance doubled the lead before halftime, before Hernández and Antony completed the rout in the second half. The Greek visitors, already facing an uphill task after losing the first leg, were overwhelmed by Betis' attacking intensity and never looked capable of mounting the comeback required, making multiple substitutions in a desperate attempt to stem the flow of goals.
