Antony was criticized.

The Brazilian striker faced a wave of criticism after his poor performance in the Conference League final against Chelsea on the morning of May 29th.

At the Miejski Stadium, Real Betis led Chelsea 1-0 in the first half. However, everything fell apart for the La Liga side in the second half as "The Blues" exploded, scoring four goals in less than 45 minutes.

Goals from Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho, and Moises Caicedo shattered the championship ambitions of Manuel Pellegrini's team.

Antony was expected to shine in the final. However, his performance against Chelsea reminded fans of his difficult days at Manchester United.

He appeared isolated, unable to create chances or link up effectively with his teammates. As Chelsea increased the pressure, the former Ajax star became disoriented and his fluid ball control was gone.

Betis fans' disappointment was quickly expressed on social media. A user named ruukayo wrote: "Antony reverted to his terrible form against a Premier League team." Another user, Opresii, mocked: "Antony is only good when no one is watching him play." Another fan commented: "Antony looked invisible against Chelsea. Chelsea simply studied and figured out their opponent."

In contrast to Antony, another Manchester United player on loan, Jadon Sancho, had an outstanding performance. He played energetically on the wing and scored a beautiful goal against Betis. Sancho also didn't forget to encourage Antony after the match.

Antony is likely to return to Manchester United after his loan spell at Betis ends. The Red Devils are only willing to sell Antony outright for £40 million, a figure beyond Betis's financial means.

The Manchester United players' faces were as cold as ice upon their arrival in Malaysia. On the evening of May 26th, the Manchester United stars arrived in Malaysia looking exhausted after a long flight.
