Despite being defeated 4-1 by Chelsea in the UEFA League final and missing out on the trophy, Anthony is still extremely proud of his journey with Real Betis. The Brazilian winger expressed his disappointment after the game, but also emotionally recalled the green and white years of regaining confidence.
The final was held in Wroclaw, Poland. Betis scored first, which made the outside world look forward to their European fairy tale. However, the Premier League giants Chelsea quickly equalized the score and turned the game around in the second half, eventually winning 4-1 and completing the European Grand Slam.
For Anthony, this night meant a sharp turn from hope to loss. His performance in La Liga this season was remarkable, and he once became an important engine in Betis's frontcourt, but he failed to perform to the expected level in this crucial battle.
After the game, Anthony posted a heartfelt confession on the social platform Instagram: "It is indeed sad that we are so close to our dreams...but the pride I feel at this moment far exceeds the sadness!"
"I am so proud to wear this jersey and write such a beautiful story. We have made history. To every fan who has always supported us, I want to say from the bottom of my heart: it is you who make us stronger!"
The former Manchester United player had suffered a slump at Old Trafford and his confidence was frustrated. This loan to Betis can be regarded as a "restart" of his career. In Andalusia, he found his rhythm and passion again, and proved that he still has the ability to shine in the right system. With the end of the loan period, Anthony's future has once again attracted attention.
