Troy Parrott scores for Real Betis in Champions League win at Lille
Summary

Forward Troy Parrott scored in the 53rd minute to lead Real Betis to a 3-2 victory over Lille in the Champions League on September 8, 2026. The 24-year-old struck a low, left-footed shot to secure the win after Marc Bartra provided two goals for the Spanish side.
