La Liga
The latest news on Real Betis' signings also involves the growth of its youth academy. The green and white team started the preseason with a 0-3 victory over Sportfreunde Lotte and found Pablo García as the star of the first test. The winger from Parque Alcosa scored two goals after halftime and made a clear statement of intent. He wants to improve his numbers, make the most of every opportunity, and continue scoring goals with his lifelong team, something that, as he admitted, brings him special happiness.
Pablo García starts Real Betis' preseason with accuracy
The academy player entered the field in the second half and needed very little to open the scoring. He finished with a left-footed shot and appeared again in the final stretch to complete his brace. Between both goals, Nelson Deossa provoked and converted a penalty that confirmed Betis' superiority. Beyond the 0-3 result, Pablo García assessed the physical and mental sensations accumulated during the ten days of work in Germany. The forward understands that these matches serve to regain rhythm and compete for a spot.
The start also reinforces one of his main virtues. The player has shown a natural goal-scoring ability since youth categories, although he couldn't translate that efficiency to LaLiga last season. He participated in 15 league matches, accumulated 378 minutes, and couldn't score or assist. He did find more prominence in the Copa del Rey, where he scored a brace against Palma del Río and provided an assist against Torrent. Now he wants that production to appear more regularly in Real Betis' first team.
Pablo García's challenge after a tough season
The previous season brought important lessons. When losing space in the first team, Pablo García returned to the B team to help in the fight for survival in Primera Federación. His response was decisive: seven goals and two assists in nine matches. However, that performance couldn't prevent the second team's relegation. It confirmed that he still has the ability to decide games but also reminded him that he needs continuity, precision, and consistency to firmly establish himself in the top flight.

An opportunity to earn a place in the first team
Number 33 now faces a decisive preseason. The calendar will offer new tests against teams of different levels, starting with the Trofeo Colombino and continuing with matches in Granada, La Línea de la Concepción, and the second preparation period in Dublin. Each game will be an opportunity to convince the coaching staff. Real Betis needs depth on the wings and players capable of contributing goals from wide positions. His profile could become a valuable solution.
The forward also didn't forget the fans who traveled to the Stadion am Lotter Kreuz. Nearly 5,000 spectators witnessed the friendly, and numerous Betis supporters accompanied the team from the stands. Pablo García appreciated that support and considered it essential for the dressing room. His connection with the club and the fans represents added value, although he knows that affection must be sustained with performance when official matches arrive.
The first performance doesn't guarantee minutes or change the team hierarchy by itself, but it does put the academy player in a favorable position. Two goals, renewed confidence, and an ambitious discourse form a promising starting point. Pablo García wants to turn his goal-scoring ability into a regular tool and leave behind the lack of accuracy from the last season. The challenge has just begun, but Real Betis has already received the first signal from a player determined to earn his opportunity.
