Real Betis promoted to La Liga

There will be a Seville derby next season.
Real Betis secured their return to La Liga on Sunday, claiming the Segunda Division title with a 3-0 win versus AD Alcorcon at their Estadio Benito Villamarin.
Betis are two matches away from completing an impressive campaign in which they've already accumulated a league-best 73 goals.
The club's rejuvenation is largely due to manager Pepe Mel, who started his second post at Betis in December, during which time the club have only lost one match. Credit is also owed to veteran attacking midfielder Ruben Castro, whose 32 goals this season lead the Segunda Division and who scored a brace in Sunday's win.
¡Felicitaciones, Betis!
