"They Say We're Crazy" | Real Betis | Once In a Lifetime

🚨 Subtítulos en español disponibles 🚨

Football, more than any other sport, is about sharing stories. Stories about places, stories about people, stories about culture.
And so as the last decade has seen an unprecedented dominance of a select few ‘big’ clubs winning almost every trophy available, we have missed out on those new stories that football so brilliantly tells.
So last season we sent Eli Mengem on a journey, to document the few ‘smaller’ clubs who somehow did have a chance at winning something, in order to share the new stories we’ve all been missing out on.
From the south of Spain to the north of Turkey to the south west of Germany, Once in a lifetime is a new series telling the story of three very different clubs made up of three very different people, in three very different places, that all share one thing in common. A very long wait to win something.
To begin, we start with Real Betis, arguably Spain’s most eccentric fanbase whose incredible passion in the stands isn’t reflected on the pitch. So when they made the Copa De Rey final, which just happened to be hosted in their own city of Seville, we just had to be there to document what happens when such a fascinating fan base has a chance to win their first trophy in 17 years.
This is Once In a Lifetime.

For a club I knew so little about 34 minutes ago to having a lump in my throat watching them win is such a testament to the supporters of Betis but even more the absolute incredible level of detail and passion that Eli and the whole Copa90 crew puts into these videos. I never think they can one up themselves but they always do. But at the end of the day with documentaries like this how can you not fall in love with football.

As an American who studied for Sevilla for a semester in college and fell in love with Betis, this video made me realize once again just how special this club is. Growing up loving soccer and supporting Chelsea, I had no Spanish team to support and my host family converted me into a Betico. I distincly remember my host brother telling me the difference between Sevilla and Betis, and him telling me about "Dicen que estamos locos en la cabeza" and it really sticking with me. Thank you Eli for this incredible film and thank you for reminding me why I became a Betico in the first place 💚💚💚

I was there that night, with my father... I was 3 years old when we won Copa del Rey in 2005, I grew up seeing my team in Segunda (Second division), having to deal with the insults of the teams that grew while mine stayed in mud, hearing the stories of the old people talking about Gordillo, Alfonso, Esnaola... and how those were the golden days of Real Betis... But that night was magical, I had never hugged my father harder in my life, both full of tears and all I could think about was about going to the city centre to celebrate it with all my friends... With some good luck and a lot of work, this will happen way more times in the near future. Manque pierda tuyo siempre💚💚💚💚

So many similarities with the club I love, Aris Thessaloniki. The only difference is that our trophy winning drought is not 17 years but... 52. And counting. Some great moments here and there, some huge victories (defeated Atletico Madrid twice in a month back in '10) but other than that it's just bleak moments: unfair results, relegations, late promotions, financial problems... and a hated rival who wins trophies. Still Aris is counted as one of the big clubs in Greece. Cannot even imagine what will happen when we eventually win something... Greeting to all Betis fans. My new favorite club in Spain. VAMOS BETIS! From Thessaloniki, Greece.

[@garyblinston193]

Fantastic film, I am British but my son and I have followed Betis for the past 18 years. If you love football then the fans of Betis are the embodiment of all the emotions which go with it.

[@dimitrijesvilarkovic2542]

This documentary made me cry... As a fan of Football Club Vojvodina in Serbia, I can absolutelly identify the feelings Beticos have during their long life of suffering. Vojvodina is a huge club, but always in shadows of the big two Serbian clubs, Partizan and Red Star. This short movie represents a way of living rather than a football story. It shows how everyday struggles dissappear when the matchday comes, and how people live in the times of despair and chase glory through the success of their beloved club, no matter the status or position of it. At last, this line got me weeping: "Betis is not just a football club, it's a way of life... A tough one, but a fun one. And life is about having fun, and I think even though you lose most of the time, when you have a chance to have fun or have glory, you have the time of your life." Thank you Copa90 for showing this incredible story, and most of all THANK you Betis for being who you are and keeping the fight going on till you are alive!

[@mwasserwachtler5833]

Reminds me a lot of my own club TSV 1860 Munich. In the early 90s we made it back from the third division back to the Bundesliga. In 2004 we were relegated to the second division, from 2005 to 2017 we suffered in the second division and had to share the Allianz Arena with our local rival FC Bayern. Since 2011 we have also an "investor" from Jordan, but he divides the fans since he hasn't helped at all. In 2017 we were relegated from the second division to the fourth division because we didn't have the money for the license (although we still have the investor). But our relegation to the fourth division gave us the opportunity to leave the Allianz Arena and return to our very old and small but rather charming stadium. After one year in the fourth division we were promoted to the third division and had a huge party. There is even a rather telling video comparison on KZbin of our party with the celebrations of the FC Bayern for winning the national title in the same year. Although the club had these ups and downs it is still one of the most famous ones in Germany. On Friday we had a cup match against Dortmund and lost 3-0, nevertheless the fans celebrated the whole time. Was an amazing experience.

NOOOOO SOMOS BETICOS" I suppose an Irish man like me would naturally support the team in Green haha, I might be the west of Irelands only Betis fan even if I support my local Galway United and Wolverhampton which is also strange when most Irish people support big six clubs, but Betis is my adopted club, Verdi-blancos are everywhere in the world

Thank you guys for doing this. This is what football is really about. Not clubs that are so big that they are essentially lifestyle and fashion brands that happen to have a football team. Not playthings for bored billionaires. Not multinational marketing schemes. As the dude in the video said, every fan deserves to realistically believe his team could have their day in the sun. There's nothing wrong with their being "big clubs," there have always been big clubs, but the scale has gotten so tilted now that if you're not a big club already, your only hope is that someone with trillion dollars swoops in and buys you, otherwise, there's almost no chance of success. That kind of stratification will kill the game.

As an American you’re aware we are quite behind on football fandom. What this particular segment / series allows folks like me to see is the love and passion from fans far beyond what I thought orginally. The young man attending the game in tears referencing his grandfather made me weep in remembering my own. For me it’s baseball, and my dreaded Chicago Cubs, that remind me of my grandfather. Every time I go to Wrigley Field he’s with me. It doesn’t matter the sport, love and passion is the same in every country, in every language. Sport is beautiful, and I’m finding out football is as lovely as any other. Tip of the cap to all of you struggling and still able to find the love for your club. Someday I’m coming to see a match I promise you.

@@fernandoarango4 SI el Athletic hubiese pasado lo que ha pasado el Betis no llegaríais a 4 gatos. Siempre en primera con veintitantas copas y un buen puñado de ligas. Así es fácil. Lo difícil es lo de los béticos. Seamos serios.

@@multivac-mn4hz vives una realidad paralela. Comparar el Athletic Club con el Betis, en fin, es muy osado. Venga ya, que nunca habéis sido nada

As a supporter of Schalke 04, I can relate to the suffering and the pain these fans experienced. I was so glad that they were spared the fate of the SC Freiburg supporters who saw their team go down in penalties in the last German cup final. As the video you did about that final, this here was not just about a club and a match, but you portrayed a city, its people, its hopes and dreams and culture, by using football as some sort of microscope to get a closer look. Well researched and presented like the master storyteller you are. Thank you for introducing me to Real Betis and its fans!

Eli..this is a masterpiece! I cried so much. Thank you,very well researched a

[@benhancox3723]

Wow … a really impressive video! This brings back some great memories for me. Some years ago I spent my university Year Abroad teaching English in Spain and whilst visiting Seville I managed to attend the special Betis Centenary (Centenario) exhibition. I witnessed at first hand how passionate béticos are when I watched Betis win 3-0 at the Mestalla at the end of last season. I still remember the colour and noise their supporters created at Stamford Bridge in 1998 and 2005.

Eli is great football storyteller. All his work is A1. This is no different, the doc was beautiful, shit had me tearing up by the time I finished.

[@Yley288]

Totally agree, Eli is one of my favourite Football journalists

[@Floody95]

Amazing story. The shirt thing is also so true, the first time I met my girlfriend's parents they had bought me a Betis shirt! Next time I visit I hope to go to a match

[@REAL1234567BETIS]

El Betis es el reclamo de un pueblo, es la eterna lucha de clases, el David contra Goliat, el Quijote con alma de campeón. Es el símbolo de una tierra obrera y luchadora. Es el verde de la esperanza y el blanco de la nobleza. es el llanto en la victoria y el aplauso en la derrota. es el carácter de su gente en el manquepierda. El Betis rompe las fronteras, porque cualquiera se puede ver reflejado en su lucha. No es el mejor, pero tiene un algo que siempre lo hace campeón. Mucho Betis!!!

This documentary had me in my feelings for I have been a life long NY Jets fan and I have lived a life of suffering. The supporters of Real Betis are close to my heart for I found a fanbase that I have an emotional connection with. This documentary is so well done that it makes me want to support the team, for the supporters have my heart..

[@danielrodriguezgallardo1770]

You know, I attended this huge watching-along of the Copa del Rey Final at the Benito Villamarin. The thing is, the moment I was to enter the stadium (30 mins prior to the match starting), the door I was supposed to check in was shutted, in fact, due to an electronic problem. So I missed the starting 15 minutes of the final, including Borja Iglesia's goal. It was not just me, it was my whole family and other 60-70 strangers (and béticos) that couldn't enter on time and it wasn't our fault. But you know what? As the whole stadium ROARED as the ball touched the net, those 70 "locos de la cabeza", myself included, also celebrated furiously! It was so different, so many mixed feelings... But it was awesome, and we got to win in the end!! Definitely a story to tell

[@calummcghee9401]

Absolutely outstanding, such a relatable video for so many football fans. Those days in the sun and the stress of holding onto leads is what football is all about, big teams who win and expect always to be winning will never understand this video. Betis absolutely will be my Spanish team after this video

This video literally got me crying - I am a Brescia fan and I really hope that one day my team will also be able to lift a trophy, even though that’s nearly impossible

[@mafcgh]

These "Once in a Lifetime" videos are beautiful. The two ones I've watched have had me in tears and make me want to keep following the clubs. Would love this to become a regular series.

[@mkavanagh791]

I think I could watch a programme of this style about any club in the world. Regardless of what they’re playing for etc. Please keep them coming.
