Mundo Deportivo: Ceballos Celebrates Betis' Winning Goal Emotionally, Drawing Criticism from Some Real Madrid Fans

According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Betis defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at La Cartuja Stadium on Friday to secure a victory in the fourth round of La Liga.

One of the protagonists of the match, despite not playing, was Ceballos. Since he had only trained with the full squad a few times and had not completed a full pre-season preparation, he was not included in Pellegrini's squad.

Ceballos terminated his contract with Real Madrid in June and, after waiting for several weeks, returned to Betis during the final stage of the transfer window. He signed a three-year contract running until 2029, returning to the club where he began his career.

At 1-0, cameras captured Ceballos standing beside the Betis bench. He celebrated passionately, experiencing the goal like a Betis fan and sharing the joy with the teammates around him.

The scene did not go unnoticed by some Real Madrid fans. Criticism of Ceballos has already appeared on social media, with the reason being his overly enthusiastic reaction while facing a team he had still been playing for just a few months earlier.

However, the background is also important.

Ceballos had just returned to the club he loves after spending seven seasons at Real Madrid, and he had publicly stated that his departure process was amicable. Therefore, these images also showed his excitement about returning to Betis, although the moment still drew criticism from some Real Madrid fans.
