Sergio Canales met again with the Real Betis fans, also on the field where the green and white club, with the Cantabrian as one of its main weapons, won its last title, the Copa del Rey in 2022. So the midfielder, now … At Rayados de Monterrey where his contract is ending and he is awaiting resolution of his future, with options to return to Spain (always with Racing Santander in mind to finish his professional career), he experienced a tremendously special day.
He already said goodbye to the club and all of Beticismo, after formalizing his transfer to the Mexican team in July 2023, in an institutional event held at the Luis del Sol sports city, but he was missing the tribute with the fans. And it came in the duel against Getafe, since the footballer is on vacation in Spain with his family.
And it was in the run-up to the duel corresponding to the 17th matchday of LaLiga 25-26 in which Canales, after being interviewed by Betis TV or DAZN, the channel that broadcast the match live, jumped onto the grass of the La Cartuja stadium with his wife and three children. He hugged Joaquín, Manuel Pellegrini, Manu Fajardo, Rafael Gordillo, José Miguel López Catalán and Ángel Haro, who gave him a commemorative painting for his five seasons in the entity.
The Betic fans have very fond memories of the man from Santander and returned it with a spectacular ovation, songs and cheers, not only at that moment before the match began, but also during its development. Canales witnessed the match with his family in the honor box and from there he was also able to greet the fans, mainly those of Gol Sur, to whom he thanked them for their love.

Feel the fans again @RealBetisliving it with my family and receiving so much love is something impossible to explain.
