Antony angers Sevilla fans

Antony imitates Jesus Navas' celebration.

In the early morning of March 31, Betis won 2-1 against Sevilla in round 29 of La Liga. The two players who scored for the home team Betis were Johnny and Hernandez. After the match, striker Antony performed the action of sitting on goalkeeper Adrian's shoulder and holding the flag to celebrate in front of the excited fans.

Many Sevilla fans quickly recognized this as a familiar celebration that Jesus Navas had performed in the past. Some away fans thought Antony was angry and thought that Antony was deliberately mocking them with this imitation.

Many Sevilla fans expressed their anger on X. One account wrote: "There are many ways to celebrate, he chose the same way as our Navas. It's annoying". Another fan spoke up: "What did he do in this match to celebrate like that?". Another account shared: "The celebration is unacceptable".

Antony played the entire game but failed to score or assist against Sevilla. This was also the first derby match the Brazilian striker has played since moving to Betis.

The win over Sevilla helped Betis consolidate their sixth place in the standings, seven points ahead of second-placed Vallecano. If they maintain this position until the end of the season, Betis will qualify for the Conference League qualifying round next season.

Antony shines on the day Man Utd is defeated. Early morning on February 17, Antony scored a beautiful goal in Betis' 3-0 win over Sociedad, in round 24 of La Liga.
