Antony burst into tears on the day Betis lost their championship dream

In the early morning of May 29, Betis opened the scoring but lost 1-4 to Chelsea in the 2024/25 Conference League final.

Betis started the game full of confidence after securing a place in the UEFA Europa League next season. The Spanish team took the lead in the 9th minute when Abde Ezzalzouli took advantage of a clever pass from Isco to score the opening goal. Betis then continued to put on the pressure and almost doubled the gap with chances from Bartra and Cardoso, but both were missed.

Chelsea were stuck in the first half, but the turning point came after the break. The appearance of captain Reece James helped the London team accelerate strongly. In the 65th minute, Cole Palmer sent a sharp pass for Enzo Fernandez to head home the equalizer. Just 5 minutes later, Palmer continued to shine with a dribble and pass to Nicolas Jackson to make it 2-1.

Chelsea showed the mettle of a big club in the final.

With Real Betis losing heart, Chelsea took full advantage to kill the game. In the 83rd minute, two players coming off the bench, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jadon Sancho, combined beautifully, before Sancho fired a beautiful shot into the top corner. In injury time, Moises Caicedo added the goal to make it 4-1 after a sharp counter-attack.

This victory not only brought the 5th continental title in Chelsea's history but also helped the West London club mark a proud milestone, which is winning 5 consecutive victories in the finals organized by UEFA.

Meanwhile, Betis ended the season as runners-up in the Conference League and qualified for the Europa League next season through a 6th place finish in La Liga. Antony will return to his parent club MU and hold his breath waiting for the future. Betis really wants to keep the player born in 2000 but cannot meet the transfer fee of 40 million euros that MU has set.
