Real Betis, a Spanish football team, celebrated the signing of Pezzella in GTA: San Andreas style. The video is hilarious, and it is inspired by the evergreen Grand Theft Auto. The clip starts with striker Ettore Rubial saying, “oh boy, here we go again.” This is a classic GTA meme- well, in a more family-friendly version.
After this, he jogged and jumped awkwardly, just like a PlayStation 2 era character, which is quite nostalgic. Then he got on a scooter and headed towards the stadium. After struggling a lot to get through the game, Rubial finally got to meet his teammate, Guido Rodriguez. Then, the pair presented signing Pezzella with the team’s shirt. After this completion of the mission, a “Mission Passed” sign is shown, reminiscent of GTA.

In an official statement, Real Betis wrote, “We have all heard the saying ‘that second parts were never good.’ However, here we must make the exception to the rule. Pezzela returns to Benito Villamarín at the moment when the Betic team needs the most to find the veteran and the leadership in the defensive line in the face of the shortcomings that we have, and in the face of the long season where the three competitions were fought.”
