In another twenty-five times, Sevilla fans have a better ranking, having played 79 seasons in the First Division, compared to 57 for the Verdiblancos, who have only done so in six without the presence of their to rival, who in twenty-eight seasons is the only representative of Sevillian football in the highest category.
Since they achieved their first qualification for the Champions League in the 2004/05 campaign, after a sensational comeback in the final days, which led them to snatch that place from Sevilla FC and then win the Copa del Rey, Real Betis have only managed to finish better than Sevilla FC on two occasions, in 2012/13, when they were seventh with Pepe Mel and Sevilla ninth with Emery – a mid-season replacement by Michel- and in a European place thanks to the disqualifications of Málaga (6th ) and Lightning (8th). The other time Betis were better than Sevilla in the last seventeen years was in 2017/18, as they were sixth under Setién and their rivals seventh, with Berizzo, Montella and Caparrós.
