Aftermath of the game: “We knew that we were coming to a very difficult opponent, for a difficult game. We tried to impose our game, but Benfica had the luck of the game. We are to be congratulated, not for the result, but for the delivery. Whoever doesn’t score… suffers, as the old saying goes. With 2-0, in Luz, it would be difficult to turn it around. We tried. Now it’s time to recover for the next battle in the championship.”
Gil doesn’t shrink: “Wherever we have played we have tried to impose our identity. We will always do our best.”
