Shocking! Betis star Antony reveals his home was robbed during Champions League clash
What should have been a memorable Champions League night turned into a nightmare for Real Betis star Antony. The Brazilian winger revealed that criminals broke into his home while he was representing his club against Porto, leaving him and his family deeply shaken.
Details: Antony confirmed the shocking incident in an emotional statement published on his Instagram account on Thursday, October 15. According to the Brazilian international, burglars targeted his residence while he was playing for Real Betis in their Champions League encounter against Porto the previous evening. The 26 year old footballer expressed his anger and frustration over the invasion of his family's privacy, emphasizing that the psychological impact of the incident was far more painful than the loss of material possessions.
The former Manchester United winger did not hide his emotions when describing what had happened. In a message shared with his followers, Antony explained that a night which should have brought happiness and celebration instead ended with a devastating discovery. He wrote: "Today I come to share a very sad and outrageous situation. A night that had everything to be wonderful ended in indignation and frustration. THEY ROBBED MY HOUSE!"
However, the Brazilian made it clear that the stolen belongings were not his greatest concern. What disturbed him most was the realization that his own home, a place where his loved ones should feel completely safe, had been violated. Antony spoke about the emotional consequences for his family and the painful experience of seeing fear and insecurity reflected in their eyes. He insisted that no financial loss could compare with the importance of protecting those closest to him.
The footballer also expressed gratitude that his family had escaped the incident without physical harm. He promised to rebuild whatever had been lost through hard work, while making it clear that recovering a sense of security would be far more difficult. According to Spanish media reports, the incident has been reported to the police, who are investigating the circumstances of the burglary. Further details about the perpetrators and the value of the stolen property have not been officially disclosed.
It's worth noting that Antony joined Real Betis permanently from Manchester United in September 2025 after an impressive loan spell in Seville. The Andalusian club agreed to pay €25 million for the Brazilian winger, with additional performance bonuses potentially increasing the total. The incident comes at a demanding moment in Betis' season, with the team also preparing for an important La Liga encounter against Barcelona on October 17.
Reminder: Great news for Barcelona! The leader is coming back.
