Antony is playing the best football of his career. |
In injury time at RCDE, in a stalemate against Espanyol, Antony unleashed a powerful shot into the A corner, leaving goalkeeper Joan Garcia rooted to the spot. Real Betis won dramatically 2-1. "Garcia had an excellent game from the start but was defeated by Antony," Marca described.
Antony's moment of brilliance sent the Betis bench into a frenzy, with his teammates clutching their heads in amazement. Isco, Abde, and Bakambu couldn't believe their eyes, while Lo Celso and Bellerin could only gape. A masterpiece that deserves to be replayed dozens of times.
Antony was heavily criticised at Manchester United, but has now found his feet in Sevilla. Since joining Betis in February, he has been directly involved in 11 goals (7 goals, 4 assists).
The fans affectionately called him "Antonio de Triana" (the boy from Triana, the famous and culturally rich neighborhood in Sevilla). And Antony truly became a new icon at Villamarin Stadium.
Antony has been in great form since leaving MU. |
Three days ago, Antony also scored a wonderful goal with his weaker right foot in the first leg of the Conference League semi-final, 2-1 win over Fiorentina. The cannon shot confirmed that the player who cost 100 million euros was not a flop. As long as he was trusted and put in the right place, Antony would shine.
Betis have lost just one of their last 15 games and Antony has been the catalyst for that rise. In a few short months, Antony has helped the club climb from 11th to the top six in La Liga, with a chance of winning the European Cup and a possible place in next season's Champions League.
Even the legendary Joaquin joked that he was ready to "kidnap" Antony to keep the Brazilian striker at Betis longer. Perhaps at this point, no one doubts Antony anymore. This is the real version of Antony worth 100 million euros.
As for MU, they have reason to smile when witnessing Antony's rise. The "Red Devils" can sell the former Ajax star for a high price, thereby having more money to cover the transfer fee in the summer of 2025.
