The moment Antony finds out he can face Real Madrid as red card rescinded

The on-loan Manchester United winger was dismissed in stoppage time against Getafe on Sunday.

After earlier producing a stunning assist for Isco, Antony was shown a straight red card for a reckless lunge in his side's 2-1 away win.

However, he is now free to face Real Madrid on Saturday after the red card was rescinded on appeal by LaLiga.

Antony's reaction to the news was even caught on camera and shared to social media by Betis.

In the video, he can be seen speaking to manager Manuel Pellegrini and another coach during training.

After being told he was no longer suspended, Antony smiles and embraces the coach.

The Brazilian can then be seen joking with Pellegrini before shaking hands with several of his teammates, including former Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian.

Real Madrid have reportedly had a less than pleased reaction to the decision to overturn Antony's red card, though.

According to AS, the Spanish giants are angry with the decision after Jude Bellingham was recently hit with a two-match ban for insulting a referee.

In the report, a source states: "It can't be, in their eagerness to go hunting against Madrid they are even skipping the legal arguments.

"Removing a red card that has been clearly assessed by the refereeing body and well explained in the report is as if the referees from now on are going to re-referee the matches.

"They don't hold back, they have done it with the desire to hurt us.

"They have declared war on us and used all imaginable means, even if they expose the very referees that they claim to defend so much.

"In 24 hours we have witnessed what we can call a hunt for everything that smells of Real Madrid.

"First, they set us an awful time for the game against Villarreal so that we have less rest than Barça and Atleti and thus favour a bad result there; then (Javier) Tebas loses respect for our coach who is a blessing, respected by everyone except the president of the Liga and vice president of the Federation; and now, the thing with Antony.

"They attack us by land, sea and air. They don't hold back. Even so, we will fight to the end with pride. We will not bow our heads in the face of such foolishness."

Bellingham remains unavailable for the trip to face Betis as he serves the final match of his suspension.

Meanwhile, Antony will be hoping to continue his fine form since arriving in Spain.

The 25-year-old signed on loan from United until the end of the season in January.

He has since scored three goals and provided two assists in six appearances for Betis.

Those matches have seen the club win twice in LaLiga as well as reaching the last 16 of the Europa Conference League.
