The Madrid players took to the field in Seville with ambitions to extend their winning streak and had several opportunities against Manuel Pellegrini's team. Based on the match's progression, they were more active, created chances and even had a penalty in the closing stages. However, Kylian Mbappé failed to convert it, costing Real the opportunity to equalize. Le Figaro ↗

For Parrott, it was a significant moment in his home debut for Betis. The Dublin striker, who joined the Seville club in the summer, became the decisive figure in the match against the favorite. Betis thus secured a valuable victory over one of the main title contenders. Der Standard ↗

For Mourinho, the result is his first serious setback in his second era at Real Madrid. The team reportedly dominated play, but failed to convert crucial opportunities. The upcoming matches will show whether this was just an isolated finishing failure or a problem that could affect Madrid's start to the league season. El Pais ↗
