So yesterday evening, I heard rumblings about the Real Betis vs Las Palmas match kicking off soon. Felt like knowing who was actually stepping onto the pitch, you know? Always sets the vibe for how the game might play out. Wanted those starting lineups bad, figured others might too.
Here’s how it went down trying to find them:
Opened up my laptop. Went straight to my usual football news spots – the reliable ones I check before any game. First site: nada. Big match preview article, but no starters listed. Just some stats and predictions. Annoying.
Switched over to another big football app I’ve got installed. Scrolled down… player profiles, past results… still nothing concrete about who was playing tonight. Like, c’mon guys!
Started feeling stubborn. Typed something like “Betis Las Palmas lineups announced” into the search bar. Finally! Saw a headline pop up from a dedicated sports site claiming they had them. Clicked that link fast.
Page loaded… slowly… agonizingly slow. Spent a minute staring at ads and a spinning circle. Almost gave up.
Finally lands. Boom! There they were, right at the top. Big block of text listing out the names. But the formatting was… rough. Names just kinda slapped together in paragraphs for each team. Needed to make sense of it.
Grabbed my notepad app – nothin’ fancy. Picked out the goalies first for each side. Then started listing the defenders. Took a second pass because the way they were listed wasn’t super clear – was that guy a wing-back or a mid? Had to think about the usual formations for both teams to slot them in mentally.
Finally got both lists sorted in my head and typed out clearly:
- Real Betis: Rui Silva; Bellerin, Pezzella, Riad, Miranda; Rodriguez, Roca; Henrique, Isco, Perez; Willian Jose.
- Las Palmas: Valles; Suarez, Coco, Marmol, Sinkgraven; Perrone, Munoz, Rodriguez; Park, Sandro, Munir.
Checked back against the website to make sure I copied everyone right. Did a quick visual match – names lined up. Felt good, like I actually accomplished something, even though it was just finding info someone else put out. Spent maybe 15 minutes total messing about with loading times and deciphering the layout.
Threw my lists into a simple share for anyone curious. Easy peasy in the end, but boy that hunt felt longer than it should’ve been! Websites love playing hide-and-seek with the basics sometimes. At least now we know who’s out there running around.
