And this happened during the duel against Getafe, since the footballer is on vacation in Spain with his family.
And it was as the duel corresponding to the 17th day of La Liga 25-26 approached that Canales, after being interviewed by Betis TV or DAZN, the channel which broadcast the match live, jumped onto the lawn of the La Cartuja stadium with his wife and three children. He hugged Joaquín, Manuel Pellegrini, Manu Fajardo, Rafael Gordillo, José Miguel López Catalán and Ángel Haro, who gave him a commemorative painting for his five seasons in the entity.
The Betic fans have fond memories of the Santander man and gave him a spectacular ovation, chants and cheers, not only before the start of the match, but also during it. Canales attended the match with his family in the box of honor and from there he was also able to greet the supporters, mainly those of Gol Sur, to whom he thanked them for their love.

Feel the fans again @RealBetisexperiencing it with my family and receiving so much love is something impossible to explain.
Because we can be far away but the feeling doesn’t change.
