Manchester United winger Antony has opened up on his tough upbringing in Brazil.
The 22-year-old grew up in an impoverished area of Sao Paolo.
He eventually earned himself a move to Ajax in 2020, before joining Manchester United this past summer in a deal worth over £80m.
"I didn't have boots to play football. I didn't have a bedroom, I slept on the sofa," he told Sky Sports.
"I lived right in the middle of the favela. Twenty yards from my house were drug dealers.
"There were moments my brother, sister and I would cry and hug each other thinking about our lives.
"There were times when we were bailing water out of our flooded house, but we'd still do it with a smile on our faces."
Antony enjoyed a dream debut by scoring in a 3-1 win over Arsenal at Old Trafford.
