Shock: Real Betis Tops Europe for Eight Consecutive Months

Antony’s Real Betis keeps surprising analysts with a 54-day unbeaten streak, making them the team with the least defeats across Europe during the last eight months.

The draw against KRC Genk in the Europa League did not significantly improve Real Betis’s standing on the leaderboard, but it extended their impressive unbeaten run. Under the guidance of coach Manuel Pellegrini, the Andalusian club has maintained a rare level of consistency, remaining undefeated in eight consecutive matches since their loss to Athletic Club at the end of August. Up to now, Betis has gone 54 days without defeat, and this streak could reach 56 days if they avoid losing to Atletico Madrid this weekend.

Real Betis’s consistency is not only shown in this short unbeaten streak but also over an impressive long period. In the past eight months, from March until now, no team in Europe has lost fewer matches than Betis — not even giants like Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, or Juventus. During this time, Pellegrini’s squad has been defeated only four times in 32 matches, a remarkable achievement for a team outside the “big clubs” of La Liga.

Since their victory over Real Madrid in early March, Betis has only been beaten by Villarreal, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao. During this period, they have faced tough challenges such as the semi-final against Fiorentina, the derby with Sevilla, and away matches at Nou Camp and Estadio de la Ceramica. Although not always spectacular, Betis has shown strong defensive resilience and an indomitable spirit — “if you can’t win, at least don’t lose,” as coach Pellegrini once said.

The latest draw against Genk demonstrated that Betis still controls the game style, despite lacking sharpness in finishing. Highlights like the return of center-back Marc Bartra and keeping a clean sheet continue to boost fans’ confidence. With this form, Betis is not only maintaining their position in La Liga but is also expected to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League, a goal well within reach.

This impressive run and Pellegrini’s steadfastness have made Real Betis a symbol of resilience in Europe. While many top clubs undergo constant changes, declines, or instability, Antony’s Betis remains solid, continuing the admirable journey of a team few believed could sustain such high performance for eight straight months.
