This season, the Moroccan international has played just under 1,400 minutes in all competitions. However, Ezzalzouli left Barça for Betis because he was looking for consistency. Unfortunately, he failed to gain Pellegrini’s trust.
The Moroccan striker remained on the bench against Atheltic and Girona. Against Rayo Vallecano, he played eight minutes, and two minutes against Valencia and only one minute against Atlético Madrid. His poor performances are far from meeting the expectations of Betis who paid more than 7 million euros for his transfer.
