Game analysis: “We conceded a goal very early, but when we were losing 2-0, we could have made it 2-1. However, a few minutes later, we were already losing 3-0. We could have capitalized more in the second half and we weren’t far from it, because we managed to keep Benfica behind and even hit the bar three times. Honestly, I was very happy with our second half. Benfica are a great team and will go far in this competition, but we didn’t give up.”
Result could have been different: “Of course yes, we could have entered the game. From Benfica’s point of view, being ahead by three goals and, suddenly, seeing the result go to 3-2 could make them reluctant. Benfica is a beautiful team, capable of winning the Portuguese League and going very far in the Europa League. They have great players.”
