UEFA League final against Chelsea, Anthony is completely lost

Anthony experienced a sharp gap from hope to loneliness. Originally he was expected to be the first player in history to win the UEFA Cup and UEFA double championships with different teams in the same season, but as Real Betis lost 1-4 to Chelsea in the final, his dream also fell into vain.

Anthony performed poorly, and Betis missed the championship, although he only played for Real Betis on loan for half a season, the Brazilian winger has left a deep mark on this La Liga team. He made 23 appearances in various competitions, contributing 7 goals and 5 assists, among which he performed well in the European Union - scoring 4 goals and 3 assists in 9 games, becoming one of the important contributors to the team's finals.

Because of this, many Betis fans regard him as the "GOAT" (the best in history), and this title usually only belongs to legendary figures like Ronaldo and Messi.

fans had high hopes and looked forward to Anthony and captain Isco joining forces to help the team win the first European trophy in team history. However, the reality was not satisfactory. Faced with Chelsea's strong counterattack, Betis finally suffered a tragic reversal of 1-4 and passed by the championship.

In contrast, Isco showed value in the game, not only assisting Adnan Azarzuli in the first record, but also creating threats many times in the first half. Anthony struggled the whole game and was completely unable to perform as well.

Data shows everything: In the face of Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso's close control, Anthony only completed 17 passes in 21 games, with an accuracy rate of only 81%. He tried to break through 9 times and only succeeded once; his only shot was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper. As the game was approaching, he was also given a yellow card for a conflict with Enzo.

In the 88th minute, the two broke out in a verbal conflict, causing the game to be interrupted for a while. Although the scene was quickly controlled, Anthony's emotions were obviously close to the critical point - which might also reflect his sense of powerlessness about the outcome.

Dreams are broken within a week

This game not only made Betis dream break European arenas, but also made Anthony miss the opportunity to create history. Previously, he had reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup with Manchester United this season, but now he returns in the Europa League final.

In just one week, from the possible first person in history to the empty handed, Anthony's mood fell to the bottom.

In addition, his future is equally uncertain. Although Betis' performance is remarkable, he will return to Manchester United after the loan period ends. It is not clear whether Betis will exercise the buyout clause, and Manchester United's attitude towards him is still unclear.

For the 24-year-old talented winger, it was destined to be a disappointing and questionable night.
