Manchester United winger Antony broke down in tears during a post-match interview on Thursday (May 8).
Antony, aged 25, transferred to Manchester United from Ajax in the summer of 2022 for a substantial fee of £85 million. However, his impact at Old Trafford was underwhelming, leading to a loan move to Real Betis in January.
Since his arrival at the Andalusian club, he has significantly improved, showcasing a series of remarkable performances with eight goals and five assists in 21 matches.
Recently, he played a crucial role in securing his team’s first-ever European final by scoring a spectacular free kick against Fiorentina, with the match ultimately concluding in extra time, resulting in a 4-3 aggregate victory and a Conference League final against Chelsea in Wroclaw, Poland, on May 28.
Reflecting on the challenging period he experienced at United, he appeared visibly emotional after the match.
“My family knows what we went through to be her – I have cried a lot with my mother, with my wife and with my siblings,” Antony said, who could not hold back tears.
“Because we went through very tough times. I am living a dream now.”
In a previous interview with DAZN in April, the Brazil international admitted that he had “found himself” at his new club.
