In the 2013/14 season, Betu played 43 matches for Sevilla and helped her win the Europa League , reflecting two hits in the penalty shoot-out in the final against Benfica ^[8] . Later, the Portuguese became the third goalkeeper of the team after Sergio Rico and David Soria ^[9] , as a result of which in the summer of 2016 left the team as a free agent.
