Excellent with Real Betis on Friday evening against Cadiz, Nabil Fekir once again ignites the followers of the Spanish Liga.
The genius Nabil Fekir is back! Victim of a new cruciate knee ligament injury in February 2023, the 2018 world champion fully returned to competition in January and is now putting in a string of quality performances. He demonstrated it during Real Betis’ victory in Cadiz (0-2), Friday evening in La Liga (day 24).
Led by its untenable French playmaker, who caused misery to the opposing players, the Andalusian team won thanks to an entry goal from its center forward Willian José (6th) and a nice strike from his winter recruit Pablo Fornals (46th). Fekir was not decisive, despite a good shot from the opposing goalkeeper, Conan Ledesma.
Fekir in place of Isco
At 30, the Lyonnais will try to restart for the umpteenth time. The Beticos captain, if he remains operational in the coming months, will be essential to his team because Isco was seriously injured and could miss the rest of the season. Fekir has not been called up to the French team by Didier Deschamps since August 2020 (he then withdrew because he was positive for Covid).
With two victories in the last three matches, Betis takes sixth place in the standings ahead of Real Sociedad, however 10 points from 4th qualifying place for the Champions League. Next match for Manuel Pellegrini’s team with the reception of Alavés.
