Real Betis 'updates' its crest ahead of the Conference League final

Before the Conference League final, the internet was buzzing with memes suggesting that trophies in English football are won by clubs whose crests feature a bird. On the eve of their Conference League final against London’s Chelsea, Real Betis decided to get in on the feathered action themselves.

Details: The club’s social media team from Seville “updated” their badge by adding a bird to the crest. Of course, it was all in good fun, but Real Betis are hoping this cheeky move will bring them a bit of luck on the big stage.

Reminder: This season, Liverpool claimed the Premier League title, Crystal Palace lifted the FA Cup, Newcastle won the League Cup, and Tottenham triumphed in the Europa League. All four clubs have a bird on their badge, with Crystal Palace and Newcastle even nicknamed “the Eagles” and “the Magpies” respectively.
