A Champions League Friendly for Pellegrini

Real Betis faces Olympique Lyon in the Trofeo Ciudad de La Línea friendly match (8:00 PM) as a Champions League-level test for Manuel Pellegrini's squad. The match comes after Betis showed mixed form in summer friendlies, including a defeat to Granada. Lyon is preparing for a Champions League qualifier against Sparta Prague. Key focuses include new signings Fran García and Facundo Bernal, as well as the anticipated summer debut of Brazilian winger Antony, who has been recovering from pubalgia. The match also highlights former player Nabil Fekir, who played for both clubs. Pellegrini expects more reinforcements and is evaluating academy players like Morante, while players destined to leave (Gonzalo Petit, Nelson Deossa) remain in the squad.
