On-loan Manchester United winger Antony delivered a standout performance for Real Betis, scoring a remarkable goal in their 2-1 win over Fiorentina. 

His half-volley not only extended Betis’ lead but also showcased his technical prowess, earning praise from fans and opponents alike.

Antony’s impact has been significant since joining Betis, with six goals and four assists in 19 appearances.

His resurgence in form has sparked discussions about a permanent move, although Manchester United reportedly rejected a £25 million loan extension offer.

Spanish football legend Joaquín humorously suggested he would “kidnap” Antony to ensure he stays in Seville, reflecting the player’s popularity and importance to the team. 

Antony’s contributions have been instrumental in Betis’ push for European success and a top-six finish in La Liga.

As Betis prepares for the second leg in Florence, Antony’s creativity and flair will be crucial in navigating the challenges posed by Fiorentina and securing a spot in the final.
