Be afraid, Real Madrid! Man Utd loanee Antony's red card vs Gefate rescinded in huge boost to Real Betis ahead of showdown against La Liga champions

<p>Antony has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/outrageous-antony-man-utd-flop-another-assist-real-betis-winger-tees-up-isco-scintillating-run/blteb58e70329a601c9" target="_blank">playing a starring role for Betis</a> since moving from Manchester United on loan in January after a dismal spell with the Red Devils. However, the Brazilian was hit by a blow last time out as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nightmare-antony-man-utd-flop-sent-off-reckless-challenge-banned-real-betis-real-madrid/bltfc4f0a3ce3344eaa" target="_blank">he was shown a straight red card</a> for a lunging tackle against Getafe, earning a ban that would have seen him miss Saturday's visit from Carlo Ancelotti's side.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Betis appealed the red card and have now seen it rescinded, meaning Antony is free from suspension and available for selection. The Brazilian looks certain to feature against the defending Liga champions after bagging three goals and adding two assists in just six outings for Manuel Pellegrini's side since his loan move from Old Trafford.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">THE GOAT WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY THE <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealBetisRealMadrid?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RealBetisRealMadrid</a>! 👊🐐 <a href="https://t.co/dgof8bSh5D">https://t.co/dgof8bSh5D</a></p>— Real Betis Balompié (@RealBetis_en) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealBetis_en/status/1894713097950023690?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 26, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>There's no doubt that Antony and his team-mates are delighted at the news.

ANTONY REACTS TO DECISION

<p>Real Betis have a free week to prepare for Real Madrid's visit and should be fresh for Saturday's match. However, it's a different story for Los Blancos, who take on Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Wednesday before travelling to Seville.</p><p></p>
