He Benito Villamarin registered the best entry in its history -with 59,621 spectators packing its stands- to say goodbye to its eternal captain, Joaquin Sanchez, who lived an unforgettable night full of emotions. In addition, he was the author of two of the goals that gave victory Real Betis (6-4) against the League Legends team, including several world champions such as Casillas, Ramos, Marchena, Cazorla, Pepe Reina and Capdevila, or the former Betis Héctor Bellerín and Dani Ceballos, who received two of the strongest to the applause of the night -another one for Rubén Castro, Joaking on the side, who, as usual for him, almost scored a goal with the first ball he touched- when they were named in the public address system when it came to facilitating the line-ups
Betic fans hope to see them again soon, although the return of the still Real Madrid player does not look easy, although the important capital increase the Verdiblanco club plans to carry out this summer – close to 70 million euros – improves their financial situation and the same salary limit will allow it.
Joaquín managed to bring together a whole host of figures from yesterday and today on the pitch and none of the highest authorities in the area wanted to miss the show in the box, because together with the president of Real Betis, Ángel Haro, was the of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, as well as the outgoing mayor of the capital of Seville, Antonio Muñoz, and the new one, José Antonio Sanz, among others.
No more pretense and sprints
In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Joaquín handed over his captain’s armband to Mexican Andrés Guardado and the Villamarín stadium almost collapsed from the thunderous applause the man from Puerto received, which as soon as he left the field was melted into an embrace by his wife and his two daughters and did not stop crying at the entrance to the changing rooms, thus ending one of the longest careers in the history of Spanish football. Despite repeated chants of Joaqui stay!! the pretense and sprint are over. Soon on all your screens, Joaking.
