Pellegrini Reveals Shocking Reason Behind Antony’s Fiery Return from Man Utd Ahead of Chelsea Showdown
“And Antony is a very good player. I am absolutely sure that this is a huge time for him here in Betis to help improve his career.”
Antony’s resurgence has brought a fresh spark to Betis, but his long-term future remains up in the air.
The Spanish club have expressed their wish to keep the Brazil international permanently, though financial hurdles could prevent that from happening.
While Betis operate on a limited budget, their Conference League final opponents Chelsea are in a different financial league. Still, Pellegrini is confident that his team can compete on an equal footing.
“We don’t think that we are David and Goliath,” said the Betis boss.
“I think that tomorrow we’ll have exactly the same possibility to win the game. We are going to start from the first minute to try to do it.
“It doesn’t matter how much budget one team or the other team has. In 90 minutes on the pitch, we will have exactly the same chance to win that game.”
Betis has a long history in Spanish football, winning La Liga in 1934-35 and lifting the Copa del Rey three times – the latest in 2022. However, European silverware has so far eluded them, with this final marking the first time they’ve gone beyond the quarter-finals of any European competition.
