Benfica officially announced that head coach Jose Mourinho will not take part in the press conference ahead of the Champions League match against Real Madrid, which will take place on the 25th.
Instead, assistant Joao Traliau, as well as one of the team’s players, appeared as journalists.. The club will not reveal the reasons for Mourin's absence.
In the first game in Lisbon, Real Madrid won a minimal 1:0. The match was also remembered for Mourinho's abuses and for the super-sensitizing episode in which Gianluca Prestianni called Vinicius Junior with racist images.
