Antony's rise

In the early hours of December 12th, the Brazilian striker scored in Betis' 3-1 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League.

In the 38th minute of the match at Maksimir Stadium, a misunderstanding between the home team's defender and goalkeeper left the goal unguarded. Antony seized the opportunity to score from just outside the 16.5-meter line, extending the lead to 3-0 for the La Liga representatives.

Including this goal, Antony has scored or assisted in five consecutive matches. In total, the former Manchester United player has contributed to 12 goals (8 goals, 4 assists) in just 16 appearances for Betis this season.

"Antony is currently among the best wingers in Europe," TNT Sports commented.

Antony consistently shines.

The outstanding performance of the player born in 2000 helped Betis defeat Dinamo Zagreb 3-1, thus maintaining their position in the group that qualifies directly for the round of 16 of Europe's second most prestigious cup competition. Betis's two remaining opponents, PAOK and Feyenoord, are both in poor form. Therefore, the chances of Antony and his teammates finishing in the top 8 of the qualifying round are very high.

For Antony personally, the decision to leave MU also helped him regain his form, thereby aiming for a call-up to the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup.
