He is too good - Brazil legend and World Cup winner pays Anthony special visit

Manchester United loanee Antony has shared a special moment with Brazilian football legend Romário, as the winger's revitalised form at Real Betis continues to capture attention.

The meeting occurred at Betis' Estadio Benito Villamarín, where Antony presented the iconic forward with a personalised Betis jersey, a gesture acknowledging Romário's immense contribution to the sport.

The encounter served as a poignant reminder of Romário's legendary status, particularly in Brazilian football.

Romário's place in football history is firmly established. His pivotal role in Brazil's 1994 World Cup victory in the United States, where he earned the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player, remains a defining moment.

His subsequent recognition as FIFA World Player of the Year in the same year solidified his position as one of the game's elite. Furthermore, his inclusion in the FIFA World Cup Dream Team in 2002 and Pelé's FIFA 100 list in 2004 underscore his enduring legacy.

Antony expressed his admiration for Romário on social media, tweeting: "What an honour to have you here, idol, at this special moment in my life!! Thank you for the meeting, affection and words!! Legend!! @RomarioOnze."

The meeting comes at a time when Antony is experiencing a resurgence in his career. Following a challenging period at Manchester United after his high-profile £85 million transfer from Ajax, the Brazilian winger has found his footing in La Liga with Real Betis.

Since joining the Seville-based club on loan in January, the 24-year-old has displayed a remarkable return to form, scoring eight goals in just 21 appearances.

Betis are now set to face Chelsea in the Conference League final on May 28th in Wroclaw, Poland, with Antony poised to play a crucial role.
