Anthony stands on the threshold of history: expected to win two cup championships at the same time

Brazilian winger Anthony is currently standing in front of an unprecedented historical opportunity - he has the opportunity to win the championship in two different European Cups in one season.

Anthony shines and helps Betis advance to the UEFA League finals

In a second leg match of the European Union semi-finals held in the early morning of May 9, Anthony not only scored a goal but also contributed an assist, helping Real Betis draw Fiorentina 2-2, and finally advanced to the UEFA League final with a total score of 4-3.

At the same time, in another game, Anthony's old club Manchester United also defeated Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA semi-finals and successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup final.

UEFA rules allow double participation

UFU regulations According to UEFA regulations, a player can participate in European competitions of different levels for two different clubs in the same season, as long as the player is officially registered before each game. This means that Anthony is likely to win two medals from different competitions with his performance at Real Betis and Manchester United.

If this feat is achieved, Anthony will become the first player in history to win two European Cups in the same season. It is worth mentioning that before joining Betis, the Brazilian star had played in four Europa League group stages for Manchester United.

In addition, former Manchester United coach Eric Tenhager also has the opportunity to win the medal for Manchester United's championship. According to the rules of the organizer of the competition, the champion team will receive 50 medals, which can be awarded to anyone who has contributed to the team, including those who have left their jobs.

After helping Betis break into the European League final, Anthony burst into tears. So far, he has contributed 13 goals (8 goals and 5 assists) to Betis, showing an extremely high competitive state.

Real Betis will face Chelsea at the Mieski Stadium in Poland on May 29 to compete for the UEFA Champions League. Fans are looking forward to seeing Anthony continue to shine in these two important finals and create moments of glory that belong to him.
