Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

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.

Real Betis defeated Lille 3 to 2 in an away match marking the Spanish club's return to the Champions League group stage after 21 years. Marc Bartra scored two goals and Troy Parrot added a third to secure the win. Lille took an early lead with a header from Ayase Ueda in the 12th minute and a goal from Alexsandro Ribeiro in the 36th minute. Betis responded with a goal from Bartra before halftime and two more in the second half. The match was further influenced by a red card issued to Lille's Mbappé for an elbow to Natan, which was confirmed by VAR. Following the match, manager Manuel Pellegrini stated that the team aims to prove they are capable of advancing past the current round. While the center left source focused on the key individual performances and the red card, the center right sources framed the victory as an epic achievement and a demonstration of the team's personality and superiority.
