At dawn on 9/5, Antony played an important role to help Real Betis draw Fiorentina 2-2 and win tickets to the Europa Conference League final when winning with a total score of 4-3.
At the same time, Manchester United-the host team of Antony-also won the right to the Europa League final after the victory over 4-1 Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals. In the first leg, the Red Devils destroyed the opponent 3-0.
According to UEFA’s regulations, a player can play for two teams in different European Cup tournaments in the same season, exempt from valid registration.
This opens an opportunity for Antony to own a medal from both tournaments, depending on the final result of Betis and Manchester United.
If this happens, Antony will become the first player in the history to win the championship at two European Cups in a season.
Before joining Betis on a loan in the summer transfer window 2025, the Brazilian star had 4 appearances for Manchester United in the Europa League group stage.
Notably, while MU encountered Tottenham in the final of the European 2nd division, Betis will confront Chelsea in the European 3rd Division.
MU is determined to defeat MU because this is the only way to get tickets to the Champions League next season.
