Supporters of La Liga team Real Betis have once again carried out their annual Christmas tradition by throwing thousands of teddies onto the pitch for underprivileged children.
The tradition dates back to 2018 and sees supporters raining soft toys on the Estadio Benito Villamarin for volunteers to collect and then donate to local children in need.
It started as a charitable venture by the club and its supporters for those who may be less fortunate than themselves and has since grown into an annual spectacle that supporters of other clubs enjoy watching.
The club shared a video of the special scenes on their social media accounts on Sunday.
There was a countdown on the big screens before supporters started throwing away toys of all shapes and sizes.
Staff moved quickly to collect them before the match with Rayo Vallecano got underway.

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw, with Isco opening the scoring from the spot before Isi Palazon equalized in the second half.
The result leaves Betis ninth in LaLiga, while Vallecano is twelfth.
Betis told fans they were only allowed to throw completely soft toys and that no batteries were allowed.
Many supporters wore Santa Claus hats which, instead of the traditional red and white, were the green and white colors of Betis.
