The Brazil international now has an impressive 31 goal contributions in 51 appearances for Betis since his initial loan move there a year ago, including seven in six appearances in this season’s Europa League. However, there seemed to be trouble in paradise in his last La Liga outing for the club, as he had a shocking meltdown after being substituted during the 2-1 defeat at Alaves.
In an attempt to explain his actions, Antony wrote on social media: “We are in a key moment of the season and the most important thing is Betis. The images from the last match reflect competitiveness and self-demand, never a lack of respect for the club or the group. We remain united, working hard and focused on our objectives.”
