Braga

After making history by advancing past Panathinaikos in the round of 16, Real Betis, coached by Manuel Pellegrini, was knocked out of the Europa League by Portuguese side Braga following a 2-4 home defeat in the second leg at La Cartuja (3-5 aggregate). The Spanish team dominated the first half but collapsed in the second with key errors. Pellegrini described it as a 'very tough elimination' and understood fans' frustration.
