Betis called for end to war by wearing Ukraine shirts

Real Betis were the latest to show their support for Ukraine ahead of their Europa League game with Eintracht Frankfurt. 

The team came onto the pitch for the Champions League anthem with the colours of the Ukraine flag and the message "stop the war". 

It is eyecatching that Betis did not use a plain shirt, but they went for a shirt which had the club crest and the clothing brand Kappa. It was possibly a way of showing that the club and the sponsor also supported the initiative.

You also have to bear in mind that the Europa League has more coverage than La Liga, especially in the last 16. Funnily enough, Betis managed to reach this phase after knocking out Zenit St Petersburg by the narrowest of margins.
