Antony played the full 90 minutes for Real Betis and continued his impressive form in Spain.

Real Madrid were unexpectedly beaten 2-1 at Benito Villamarin, missing the chance to overtake Atletico Madrid and Barcelona to go top of the table.

Antony played the full 90 minutes for Real Betis and continued his impressive form in Spain.

The winger, who is still on the books of Manchester United, did not score or assist, but he was a constant source of frustration for opponents.

Brahim Diaz put Carlo Ancelotti’s side ahead in the 10th minute.

However, Antony’s team-mates Johnny Cardoso and former Real Madrid star Isco scored to help the home side come back to win 2-1.

Cardoso scored the equaliser before Isco converted a penalty after Antonio Rudiger fouled Jesus Rodriguez in the box.

Commenting on social media after the match at Benito Villamarin, fans attributed the result to Antony’s “aura”.

“Antony’s aura was enough to help Real Betis win” – wrote one fan.

Another commented: “Antony’s influence on Real Betis is huge”.

“Antony’s aura is real” – agreed another.

Another comment was full of solemnity: “Hello Mr Antony!”

Another comment sarcastically said: “Let’s laugh at Man Utd for loaning Antony”.
