Antony’s Betis Comeback: What’s Behind the Sudden Turnaround?
The on-pitch renaissance
The numbers speak volumes. In just 25 matches for Betis, Antony has scored nine goals and provided five assists, nearly matching his entire output across two seasons at United. But it’s not just the statistics that have caught the eye. It’s his confidence in possession, his risk-taking in one-on-one situations, and the renewed sharpness in his movement.
His most electrifying performance came in the semifinal of the Europa Conference League against Fiorentina. With Betis trailing on aggregate, Antony scored a curling equalizer and later provided a sublime assist in extra time to secure the club’s first ever European final. His match-winning contributions under pressure reminded observers why United paid such a premium for him in the first place.
