Antony describes home burglary after Betis victory

“It ended in sadness and anger,” Antony said after his home was burgled on the night of Betis’s Champions victory. The winger also denounced the break-in and theft in a lengthy statement.

Betis’s elation after an epic comeback against Oporto in the Champions League was overshadowed by the incident. Antony went from euphoria to distress after the match.

In his message, he described a night that, in his words, should have been brilliant but ended in indignation and frustration. He also spoke of the feeling of having his private space invaded and of losing belongings acquired through considerable effort.

The player reported on social media that thieves had entered his home during the match and taken many possessions. On the pitch, Antony had played a key role in the victory, providing the assist for Cucho Hernández to make it 2-2. For the winger, the Betis celebrations were therefore accompanied by a personal ordeal marked by theft and anger.
