Real Betis defeats Olympique Lyonnais 4-0 in pre‑season friendly
Real Betis beat Olympique Lyonnais 4‑0 in the Trofeo Ciudad de La Línea pre‑season tournament. The match, played at the Ciudad de La Línea stadium in La Línea de la Concepción, Spain, attracted roughly 9,000 spectators. Goals came from Marc Bartra (23'), Nelson Deossa (44'), Pablo García (58') and Rodrigo Riquelme (78').
The defeat was Lyon’s third loss in recent friendlies, following defeats to Slavia Prague and now Betis. Coach Paulo Fonseca described the performance as “negative”, citing a lack of aggressiveness and energy, and warned the team must improve before its upcoming third‑round Champions League qualifier against Sparta Prague on 4 and 11 August. A successful qualification could bring Lyon at least €45 million in revenue. The win also gave Real Betis its second Trofeo Ciudad de La Línea title.
