  "account": "Brazilian forward Antony revealed his home was burgled during a Real Betis match against Porto, causing him great distress. The 26-year-old, who started the Champions League game at Seville's La Cartuja stadium, expressed his unease on Instagram, emphasizing his family's safety was more important than any material possessions. Antony stated that the burglary left him feeling unsafe at home, deeming the loss of possessions secondary to his family's security. He lamented that the situation was more upsetting than the match's 3-2 victory, as he felt particularly vulnerable in his own residence. Growing up in poverty in a favela, Antony joined Betis from Manchester United in 2025. This burglary follows incidents where Spanish footballers, like Real Madrid's Karim Benzema and Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, have also had their homes targeted while playing matches. Europol warned in 2019 about a suspected gang monitoring footballers' activities to identify opportunities for burglary at their residences.",
