Tearful Antony consoled by former team-mate Sancho as Betis defeated in final

Jadon Sancho took a moment to comfort a tearful Antony after helping Chelsea to beat Real Betis 4-1 to win the Conference Competition Final in Wrocław.

The wing player hit the third goal of the blues when they became the first club to each won of the five major European trophies.

And just after the last whistle, Sancho moved to Betis' clearly distraught Antony to give his fellow man United Lienene a big hug.

Antony has been in dazzling form since he moved to Spain in January, scored nine goals and adds five assists; Show why Man United £ 86 million has splashed to sign him from Ajax.

Despite all the pre-match hype, however, the Brazilian was unable to influence the final.

Sancho, on the other hand, came after an hour from the couch with his side still with 1-0 and helped to inspire a thunderous comeback while the blues scored four times in 25 minutes.

It could prove to be a career-defined impact for Sancho, since his future is in balance with Chelsea to decide whether he wants to sign him on a permanent deal.

The 25-year-old was on loan from Man United at the end of last summer's transfer window and signed for the duration of the 2024/25 season.

The deal included the condition that Chelsea would be obliged to sign Sancho for £ 25 million if they end up higher than 14th in the Premier League.

The blues, who finished fourth, must pay a fine of £ 5 million to Man United if they want to purchase that period, but manager Enzo Maresca revealed in the structure of the final that Chelsea's decision was still being processed.

Antony is in a similar situation. The side of Manuel Pellegrini wants to keep the 25-year-old, but has to burst around £ 30-35 million and the competition for his signature to ward off, leaving the Brazilian in the dark.
