Antony, the Manchester United winger on loan at Real Betis, revealed the security breach occurred during the club's encounter with Seville last weekend. The 23-year-old started the fixture but was unavailable to comment immediately following the match as he dealt with the aftermath of the burglary at his home.
In a statement addressing the incident, Antony underscored that the violation of his family's sense of security represented a greater concern than the stolen items. The psychological toll of such an intrusion, he noted, extended beyond material compensation and affected the household's wellbeing.
La Liga clubs have increasingly grappled with player residences being targeted by burglars during matchdays when homes are left unoccupied. The incident adds to a growing list of security concerns affecting footballers and their families across Spanish football in recent seasons.
Betis management indicated they would cooperate fully with local authorities investigating the matter. The club expressed support for Antony and his family during this difficult period.
