Dazzling scenes as soft toys rain down from stands
There were heartwarming scenes at Real Betis's Estadio Benito Villamarin as fans showered the pitch with donated soft toys before their club's LaLiga calsh against Atletico Madrid.
Soft toys rained down from the stands of Seville's iconic Estadio Benito Villamarin, as for the second consecutive season, fans took the opportunity to donate for disadvantage people in the area.
In 2018 fans responded to a pre-match appeal from the club by throwing thousands of soft toys from the stands before their team's 1-1 draw with Eibar. Almost a year to that day, their generous spirit was again on show as toys filled the sky.
On the pitch, Betis fell to a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, condemning it to 13th in the LaLiga standings heading into Christmas, but the result seemed to matter little on an evening that represented more than just a game.
