Before the European League finals, "Metaphysics Battle": Betis played with smacks and changed team badges. Can bird totem really bring championship luck?

On the eve of the European League final, the official account of Real Betis Club suddenly released a "new version of the team logo" and replaced the original olive branch pattern with a flying bird spreading its wings, with the caption: "This is the team logo we specially designed for the European League final. " This seemingly joking move actually hides the most magical "law of metaphysics" in European football this season - the team with the team logo and birds always seem to win the championship.

This season, European football is indeed shrouded in the mysterious halo of "Bird Totem". Liverpool won the Premier League trophy with the Liverpool bird on the team logo, Newcastle's magpies logo accompanied them to win the League Cup, Crystal Palace's Hawks totem witnessed the miracle of the FA Cup upset defeat of Manchester City, and even Tottenham's rooster team logo ended the championship drought for many years - they laughed to the end in the UEFA Cup final. This coincidence led Betis to decide to "add the price temporarily" on the team logo, even though their opponent is Chelsea, which is worth £1 billion.

This humorous interaction on social media quickly sparked heated discussion. Some fans joked: "Betis is trying to carry out metaphysics to the end", and some people carefully analyzed: "Birds symbolize freedom and height, and may really bring psychological hints to the team. "The club's official account also specially posted photos of Anthony, accompanied by the text "The Year of the Bird, the Year of the Legend" to include the loan striker in this interesting "metaphysics system".

But football has to rely on strength to speak. Chelsea's terrifying record of only one loss this season has made most people still optimistic about their winning. Betis coach Pellegrini responded with a smile at the pre-match press conference: "This is just a little joke for the team to relax. The real game depends on 90 minutes of performance. " But it is undeniable that this relaxed atmosphere has indeed relieved the team's tension in entering the European finals.

Regardless of the final result, Betis has won this wave of creative marketing - their "temporary emblem change" topic has gained a lot of interaction on social media, which is far better than the regular pre-game momentum building effect. Perhaps in the future, when people look back on the 2024-25 season, in addition to remembering those wonderful goals, they will also think of this interesting football culture phenomenon about "Bird Totem".
