Speaking prior to the match, Isco emphasized that while both teams feature talented players, the primary difference is Chelsea’s considerable financial resources. This final marks a historic moment for Betis, who are set to play in their inaugural European finale.
Regaining Momentum
After a difficult start to the season, Betis have regained momentum in 2025, significantly aided by Isco’s return from injury and the arrival of Antony from Manchester United. In an interview with Marca, Isco stated:
“What sets us apart, above all, is money. Nonetheless, we are both strong teams with quality players, and tomorrow we have a crucial match ahead of us. Betis brings a lot of excitement into this game, especially as it represents a chance to etch our name in European football, which is definitely an advantage for us.”
Confidence Heading Into the Final
Heading into the final in Wroclaw, Isco expressed confidence in his team’s capabilities, recounting their successful outings against formidable opponents like Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid this season, alongside a notable draw against Barcelona. He remarked:
“I don’t know if Chelsea are more powerful, but we have faith. As I reminded everyone in the locker room, believing is the first step towards victory. This will be a challenging match, yet we trust our squad, which feels like a family. We’ve proven that we can beat anyone, and we are eager to bring joy to our supporters who truly deserve it.”
Teammate’s Perspective
Teammate Marc Bartra echoed Isco’s sentiment, recognizing the significance of the final for Real Betis:
“Chelsea boasts a commendable history in European competitions, having enjoyed a period of dominance. Nonetheless, we have bonded as a team. I informed our coach during preseason of the strong commitment I observed, and our growth has culminated in reaching our goals, bringing us here today. We consider this match more than just a final; it signifies a monumental occasion for Betis. We come prepared with enthusiasm, commitment, and a desire to make our mark.”
The date of the final is set for May 27, 2025, and both players are motivated to deliver a remarkable performance, highlighting the pride and joy this opportunity represents for their fans.
