Benfica Lisbon
🎙 Jose Mourinho praised the quality of football on display but lamented the lack of goals given the chances created, as he analyzed the match against Alverca (2-1) in the 21st round of the Liga Portugal: “I don't want to talk about statistics again, about how many shots we took, how many times we entered the opponent's penalty area. I don't want to be monotonous and go in the same direction again. But the way we play is consistent. We play well, create many opportunities, yet score few goals. However, we managed to net a second goal thanks to a young player and secured 3 points. More than decisive, it's super decisive for our hopes of climbing higher in the standings.”
❌ Benfica will be without Richard Rios, Joao Veloso, Henrique Araujo, and Dodi Lukebakio. Lopez Cabral also faces suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
