Goose bumps guaranteed! This is how the Sevilla stadium sang the anthem before the derby with Betis

El Gran Derby between Sevilla and Betis is one of the most tense and emotional in world football. This includes the singing of the pre-match anthem, which this time in the form of the home team Sevilla can give you goosebumps.

There is a huge rivalry and hatred between Sevilla and Real Betis. The Andalusians from the south of Spain experience football with immense passion, in both stadiums they can create an incredibly electrifying atmosphere that drives the players to their limits.

The last derby, played on Sunday afternoon, had even more intensity. Both teams are having a great season, with Sevilla basking in second place in the table and Betis chasing them from third place, five points behind. A win at the Ramón Sanchéz Pizjuán would bring the Verdiblancos within two points of their hated rival.

But that didn’t happen. The home side were driven by an incredible atmosphere from the very beginning and the pitch sparkled accordingly. After a few heated moments, the football came into play and in the 24th minute Claudio Bravo produced a penalty for Sevilla. Rakitic converted it to send the home side into the lead. In the 41st minute, Munir took advantage of goalkeeper Bono’s long throw-in, leaning on a bouncing ball to make it 2-0.

In the second half, Betis picked themselves up, but the goal didn’t come for a long time. Only Canales reduced it to 1: 2 in the 95th minute with a beautiful shot from a direct kick. But that was the best Beticos could do and they lost the battle for the city. This was mainly due to the fearful performance of the first half, when Sevilla clearly “trampled” their opponent.

Even from the screen you had the feeling that the Rojiblancos were capable of doing everything to win, the Betis players were extremely nervous, they couldn’t get a few passes in a row, the atmosphere just completely engulfed them.

It was fantastic from the very beginning. When the players took the field, the Sevilla fans took out their red and white cards and played the club anthem “El hymno del Centenario” at the top of their lungs.
