While Brazilian winger Antony was shining on the pitch for Real Betis in their 3-2 Champions League victory over Porto, burglars launched a devastating raid on his home in Seville.
Antony, who joined Betis on loan in January 2025 before making a permanent move, started the match at La Cartuja Stadium and provided an assist. However, the celebratory mood was shattered upon his return home. Taking to Instagram, Antony expressed profound anguish: "What was supposed to be a wonderful night ended as a night of anger, sadness, and pain. My house was burglarized." He lamented that material losses pale in comparison to seeing the fear in his family's eyes inside what should be their safest sanctuary.
The incident marks the second high-profile security breach targeting a La Liga player's household within the same week. Villarreal goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, who was sidelined for his side's European fixture against Napoli, and his family were held at gunpoint by armed intruders during a terrifying home invasion. Gulacsi returned to training on Thursday, confirming that while no physical injuries were sustained, the ordeal left deep emotional scars. Spanish law enforcement has launched full investigations into both incidents.
