Man Utd flop Antony appears to break down crying after blowing golden stoppage-time chance in Real Betis' draw with Rayo Vallecano

Former Manchester United winger Antony was visibly emotional after missing a late chance in Real Betis's 1-1 La Liga draw with Rayo Vallecano. The Brazilian, who joined Betis permanently last summer after an initial loan, appeared to collapse in tears at the final whistle, requiring consolation from teammates and the club's sporting director, Manu Fajardo.

The crucial moment came in second-half stoppage time when, with the score level, Antony was sent through one-on-one with the goalkeeper but shot directly at him, squandering a golden opportunity to win the match. This miss could prove costly for Betis's Champions League qualification hopes, as they now sit six points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid in the league table.

Antony's move to Betis followed a challenging period at Manchester United, where he initially showed promise under Erik ten Hag but fell out of favor. Since joining Betis, he has rediscovered impressive form, contributing significantly to the team's strong season. Despite the disappointment, Betis remains in contention for a top-four finish and has advanced to the Europa League last 16, where they will face either Viktoria Plzen, Nottingham Forest, Panathinaikos, or Fenerbahce.

The team's immediate focus shifts to the upcoming Derbi Sevillano against Sevilla this Sunday, as they look to move on from the draw with Rayo Vallecano.
