Real Madrid won La Liga this year so Real Betis showed them respect with a guard of honour and Real reciprocated for Betis' Copa del Rey victory.
The match on Friday was not exactly the entertaining game that the double guard of honour deserved, with no goals to celebrate for either team. The ultimate 'class this' gesture. Despite the rare sight of the double guard of honour, it's not actually the first time it's been done in Spain, with Barcelona and Sevilla sharing one in 2006, when Sevilla won the Europa League, though the pair did not do the same 10 years later.

Paris St.-Germain has convinced Kylian Mbappé to sign a new contract, one of the richest in soccer history, that will keep the French striker at the club ...
But unlike Haaland, whose contract had to be acquired by Manchester City for an eight-figure transfer fee, Mbappé’s expiring contract in Paris made him a free agent, effectively able to choose from among the highest bidders for his prodigious talents. Amid an economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic, few teams but the wealthiest elite have been able to make the type of marquee signings that were once a staple of every soccer off-season. Real Madrid’s worst fears were confirmed on Saturday, when Pérez, in Belgrade to follow Real Madrid’s basketball team in a European final, received a message telling him Mbappé had decided to stay at P.S.G. For Mbappé, the deal comes amid major efforts to build his brand away from the field. But Mbappé had made no secret of his desire to move to Real Madrid from P.S.G., and the Spanish powerhouse went all out to recruit him. P.S.G.’s success in persuading Mbappé to stay is the latest sign that the dominance of global soccer that once rested in the hands of legacy clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United has now shifted to a few deep-pocketed, Gulf-backed teams. P.S.G.’s strategy of bringing the most exciting talents, whatever the cost, has had mixed results. Mbappé picked the one that will keep him in Paris. Its offer included a signing bonus of almost $140 million, a net salary of more than $26 million every season and complete control over his image rights. Mbappé informed Real Madrid earlier Saturday that he would not be coming. But P.S.G., the perennial French champion that is bankrolled by gas-rich Qatar, prevented him from leaving as a free agent by offering even better terms. The saga surrounding Mbappé’s future had gripped France, and was considered a matter of such national importance that last month the French president Emmanuel Macron told a news conference he would do whatever he could to keep Mbappé, considered a national treasure, in the country.
