Cédric Bakambu, Real Betis' European record-holder

Thursday, April 10, 2025, Cédric Bakambu etched his name in bold letters into the Real Betis history books. The Congolese striker found the back of the net against Jagiellonia Białystok in the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarter-finals. A symbolic goal.

With six goals in the competition, Bakambu becomes the Andalusian club's top scorer in a single season in European Cup. He thus erases Borja Iglesias and Giovani Lo Celso, co-holders of the previous record, from the records. Having arrived in Andalusia in the summer of 2024, Bakambu has impressed. At 33, he brings experience, mobility, and above all, efficiency in front of goal. In 32 appearances across all competitions, he has already tallied 8 goals and 3 assists. A more than respectable performance for a player sometimes used off the bench.
