Real Betis was proclaimed champion of the Copa del Rey this Saturday after beating Valencia on penalties. Claudio Bravo started as the starter in the final and celebrated one more title in his professional career. Motivated by this success, the Chilean relaxed as best he could in the dressing room at La Cartuja.

Through Instagram Stories, the goalkeeper shared a curious postcard in which he appeared very relaxed on the floor of his team’s dressing room, smoking a cigar and surrounded by a pizza, as well as cans of beer. “Success is in never stop believing”wrote the athlete in the publication.

That was Claudio Bravo’s 22nd title that helped him equal his compatriot Arturo Vidal as the Chilean with the most trophies raised. Let us remember that the goalkeeper has also been a champion with Colo Colo, Real Sociedad, Barcelona and Manchester City.

New star for Betis

Betis, seventeen years after their last title (2005), once again achieved glory by proclaiming themselves champions of the 2022 Copa del Rey and achieving their third crown by beating Valencia in a penalty shootout, with a decisive shot by the youth squad Juan Miranda, after a final that ended 1-1 in regulation time and in extra time.

Miranda converted the decisive penalty (5-4) after Valencia’s American midfielder Yunus Musah missed the only shot of the shootout, which unleashed euphoria in Beticismo, after many years of drought and a very even final and competitive, in which the disappointment was for the Valencian side.

Two historic figures of Spanish football were measured in La Cartuja, both with urgencies to touch glory, since Betis had been seventeen years without playing a final or winning a title (the last in 2005) and Valencia, after a very irregular season and far from the European zone, he entrusted everything to this final to fix a convulsive course again.
