Benfica head coach Jose Mourinho commented on the huge victory of the Lisbon team in the match against Estrela Amador, which took place on the 25th.

" I think that, having not shown a brilliant performance in the first half, we created two or three very good opportunities to take away goals, especially the moment with Aursnes, which looked like it would end in a goal.

We have reached our goal - victory. Our friend is meta - we played clearly, and although we didn’t show the miracle game, I think we played well. Of course, I would like to give credit to the young people who spent a lot of time in the field, but I can’t give them all the rest.

After we began to accumulate more gravel in the center of the field, it became important for our opponents to also play a part in the gravel zone of Sudakov.

After Barreiro’s exit, we had the opportunity to send three to the center – Prestianni, Cabral, Sudakov – and I think our avalanche of attacks began and ended in another half,” Mourinho summed up..

After 19 rounds, Benfica scored 45 points and placed in third position, ahead of the leader at this point. In the upcoming match, which will take place on the 28th of today, the “Eagles” will play against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
