Heartbreak for Real Betis as their European dreams were shattered in midweek.

On Thursday night, los Verdiblancos travelled to Deutsche Bank Park in an unenviable position after Frankfurt had won the first leg 2-1 in Spain.

Betis looked set to crash out until, the the very last minute of normal time, Borja Iglesias made it 2-2 on aggregate and forced extra time.

Then, just as everybody was preparing for a penalty shootout, Frankfurt won it in the 121st minute with a goal credited as a Guido Rodríguez own goal.

So, Manuel Pellegrini’s side bow out at the round of 16 stage in the Europa League, but still have plenty for play for domestically.

Coming up on 23 April, Béticos will take on Valencia at Estadio de La Cartuja in the Copa del Rey Final, their first final for 17 years.

In La Liga, Betis beat Athletic Club 1-0 last weekend at Estadio Benito Villamarín with Iglesias getting the only goal of that one.

This leaves them fifth, just two points below the Champions League places.

对于皇家贝蒂斯来说，他们的欧洲梦在周中破灭了。

周四晚上，在法兰克福以2-1战胜西班牙后，弗尔迪布兰科斯队来到了德意志银行公园。

贝蒂斯似乎要被淘汰了，直到正常时间的最后一分钟，博尔哈·伊格莱西亚斯将比分变成2-2，并强迫加时赛。

然后，就在所有人都在准备点球大战的时候，法兰克福在第121分钟用一粒被称为圭多Rodríguez的乌龙球赢得了比赛。

因此，曼努埃尔佩莱格里尼的球队在欧罗巴联赛16强赛中出局，但仍有很多国内比赛的机会。

接下来是4月23日，Béticos将在国王杯决赛中对阵瓦伦西亚，这是他们17年来的首次决赛。

在上周末的西甲比赛中，贝蒂斯在贝尼托球场Villamarín 1-0击败了西班牙竞技俱乐部，伊格莱西亚斯攻入了唯一的一球。

这使得他们位列第五，仅比欧冠积分榜低两分。
