Antony Cleared to Play Against Real Madrid: A Crucial La Liga Showdown Awaits
Antony is set to face Real Madrid in a pivotal La Liga clash after successfully appealing a red card suspension, highlighting his key role at Real Betis.
Manchester United loanee Antony has been cleared to play in Real Betis' upcoming La Liga match against Real Madrid this Saturday. The Brazilian winger successfully appealed a red card received during stoppage time in Betis' recent 2-1 victory over Getafe, where he was sent off for a reckless challenge on Juan Iglesias.
Initially handed a one-game ban, Real Betis filed an appeal, which was upheld by La Liga, allowing Antony to feature in this crucial fixture against the league's second-placed team, Real Madrid. Antony has been in impressive form since joining Betis on loan in January, scoring three goals and providing two assists in just five matches across all competitions.
This match carries significant weight for Real Betis, who currently sit seventh in the table, as they aim to close the gap on the league's top teams. The game will be held at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Saturday at 17:30 GMT, promising a thrilling encounter for fans.
Antony's journey has been closely watched since his £85 million move from Ajax to Manchester United in 2022. Despite his struggles at Old Trafford, scoring only 12 goals in 96 appearances, his loan spell at Betis has revitalized his career. This match against Real Madrid could be a defining moment for the winger.
Stay tuned for what promises to be an electrifying La Liga showdown.
