Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Levante defeated Betis 5-2 at the Ciudad de Valencia stadium, marking the first loss for Betis in LaLiga this season. The match remained competitive through the first half, ending in a 2-2 draw following goals from Adrián de la Fuente and Enzo Bardeli for Levante, and Marc Bartra and Rodrigo Riquelme for Betis. However, Betis collapsed in the second half, conceding three more goals to Roger Brugué and Jon Olasagasti. Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini described the team's defensive performance as a disaster, specifically citing a lack of concentration during set pieces and a significant drop in performance during the final 30 minutes of the game.
Reporting on the event differed based on political lean. A center-left source framed the result as an abuse of a defensively disastrous Betis, highlighting the impact of substitutions involving Isco and Parrott. Center-right sources focused on the tactical collapse and the personal self-criticism of Manuel Pellegrini, emphasizing the loss of the team's unbeaten streak and the specific defensive errors that led to the defeat.
