Antony played a crucial part in Los Verdiblancos’ journey to the final, scoring a stunning first-half free kick.
The Brazilian was visibly moved after the match concluded.
Tears streamed down his cheeks as Betis celebrated their place in the final alongside Chelsea from the Premier League.
Competing in the final marks a remarkable turnaround in Antony’s career after his loan move from Manchester United in January.
The former Ajax standout has tallied eight goals and provided five assists across 21 matches since his arrival.
His stunning free kick against ex-Red Devil David de Gea was his third goal in consecutive matches.
At 25, he is enjoying his time at Betis, stating: “I always say that the best decision I’ve made was to join Betis.”
“I’m content, and when I’m happy, things go well.”

Antony’s future under the new Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim—who has guided the club to the Europa League final—remains uncertain.
“The future? It’s quite early,” the former Ajax player stated. “I’m unsure what lies ahead.
“But I’m very happy here. I’m rediscovering my love for football.
“Things are quite amazing right now, yet I recognize my talent.
“Thus, I prioritized moving to a place where I knew I’d be happy, even though there were more enticing offers.”
