They qualify for Europa league now and they're only one point away from a 5th place finish. http://www.marca.com/futbol/betis/2018/04/03/5ac329a7268e3e424b8b4640.html This is the best that Betis has done in 13 years.
I don't think so. They would only get 5 spots if Aletico finish 5th, which isn't possible now. But going directly into Europa League group stage is really good.
Assist as in this one: Ok maybe not as drastic, but he just put a normal pass and Fabian cut inside and shot.

Makes up for all those other great passes he gave during the season that his teammates failed to finish.
Sin Guardado, Betis pierde y sigue sin amarrar su pase a Liga Europea: Bilbao, Esp., 5 May .- Sin la presencia del mediocampista mexicano Andrés Guardado por lesión, Real Betis Balompié perdió en condición de visitante por 2-0 contra Athletic Bilbao,... https://t.co/44h2LQHT6A— Infórmate Diario (@InformateMX) May 5, 2018
2 matchdays to go: 5. Betis - 59 6. Villarreal - 57 7. Sevilla - 54 Betis have a big game next week vs Sevilla. They win that and they're directly in Europa. They lose and it will come down to the final matchday.
1 point in the next 2 matches is enough for them. I think they've got it. Sevilla winning is really bad for Getafe, though.
Alright, one game to go. If the season ended today, Villarreal is directly into the group stages while Betis would be in qualification and have to earn a spot. 5. Villarreal - 60 PTS - +7 GD 6. Betis - 60 PTS - 0 GD Villarreal ends this season vs Real Madrid and Betis vs Leganes.

Nah, since Barca won the cup that spot gets added into the league system. So 5th and 6th get the direct spot, while 7th gets to play the july qualifiers.
