FANS have praised Antony’s “aura” following Real Madrid’s title ambitions being dashed by Real Betis.

The La Liga contenders lost 2-1 to the Benito Villamarin, denying them the opportunity to take the lead.

The 25-year-old Antony extended his stellar run of performance for Betis, playing the entire ninety minutes.

The Manchester United winger was a continual pain in the visitors’ side despite not scoring or providing an assist.

In the eleventh minute, Brahim Diaz did put Carlo Ancelotti’s team ahead.

But Isco, a former Real star, and Johnny Cardoso, Antony’s teammate, completely changed the outcome of the game. FANS have praised Antony’s “aura” following Real Madrid’s title ambitions being dashed by Real Betis.

The La Liga contenders lost 2-1 to the Benito Villamarin, denying them the opportunity to take the lead.

After Antonio Rudiger pulled down Jesus Rodriguez in the box, Cardoso equalized before Isco scored from the penalty spot.

However, social media enthusiasts are certain that Antony’s “aura” was the deciding factor in the outcome.

“Antony’s aura is enough for a victory,” someone wrote.

Another said, “Antony’s impact is strong.”

According to a third, “Antony aura it is.”

One of the others exclaimed, “Hail Lord Antony.”

An another person said, “Let’s all laugh at United for loaning out Antony.”

Real Madrid and Barcelona, the leaders, are now level on 54 points, but the Catalonians still have a vital match left.

Antony left the Red Devils to join Betis on loan until the end of the season.

With two goals and two assists in his first five La Liga games, he has certainly made a positive impact in Spain.

He was sent off, which ended his appearance against Getafe.

However, the punishment was later lifted, enabling him to play against Real Madrid.

In order to sell him for a high price in the summer, Old Trafford’s management will be hoping that his strong play continues.

Antony has acknowledged that since relocating to Spain, his “confidence” has returned.

He has also maintained that playing for Manuel Pellegrini, the former manager of West Ham and Manchester City, has benefited him.

“Reconnecting with myself was the most important thing to regain my confidence,” he told Estadio Deportivo.

“I’m really delighted at Betis since I found myself here. I feel more confident every day.

“Pellegrini holds great significance for me. I talked to him before I signed with Betis, and he gave me a lot of confidence.

“His background and experience inspire me to do well every day.

As I previously stated, my goal in coming here was to rediscover who I was.

“There is always pressure, but the greatest pressure I felt was when I was living in the poor neighbourhoods of Brazil, thinking about my family and everything.”

In the summer of 2023, the club spent an incredible £85.5 million on the Brazilian.

Inquiries concerning the winger’s improved play since leaving Manchester have been directed at manager Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese coach has maintained that Antony’s success has been aided by Spain’s different physicality level.

“The physicality is there when you play against any team in England,” he said to TNT Sports.

“You will struggle greatly if you lack physicality.

“Now that he’s in Spain, Anthony is much better. There are many reasons for that, but I can assure you that it has to do with physically.

The former Ajax player has also stated that he is “happy” in Betis, although he has not disclosed any information regarding his future.

Though he is keeping quiet about his future, Antony had been predicted to leave Old Trafford permanently in the summer.

“I’m really happy here, but I have no idea what the future holds,” he remarked.

“I always say that I give my all for the team and that I enjoy every day with the club, the city, and everything around me.

“Talking about my future is still premature.

“I am aware of the price they paid for me.

“I worked and continue to work hard to perform at the highest level, but I don’t focus on transfer prices, neither mine nor any other player’s.”
