The once discarded Bruno Fernandes by Manchester United has become a La Liga legend; since returning to Betis, he has remained unbeaten in six matches, elevating the team into the Champions League spots.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s remark about Manchester United being an aquarium gains more credibility as Antony transforms from a player unwanted by United to a La Liga powerhouse after rejoining Real Betis. Since his €22 million transfer to Betis this summer, the team has gone from just one win in four games to an unbeaten streak of six matches!

Before Antony joined Betis, the team’s record across all competitions was one win, two draws, and one loss in four matches; since his arrival, Betis has remained undefeated in six games, boasting an impressive four wins and two draws. Notably, in the 8th round of La Liga, Betis came from behind to defeat Espanyol 2-1 away, with Antony showing great confidence on the pitch and discussing tactics with coach Pellegrini on the sidelines, earning frequent nods before Betis equalized and then took the lead.

After Betis’s 2-1 away comeback victory over Espanyol, they have achieved an outstanding record of four wins, three draws, and one loss in the first eight La Liga rounds, accumulating 15 points and soaring directly into the Champions League positions, ranking fourth in the league. Antony missed the preseason and the first three league matches but, as he regained fitness through training, he has gradually become Betis’s key player, currently with one goal and one assist. His contribution goes beyond statistics, reflecting his tactical importance to the team. In summary, leaving Manchester United has restored Antony’s confidence, and he is steadily rediscovering the prime of his career.
