Bruno Lage's Benfica held another training session on Monday, with a focus on the upcoming match against José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe, the second leg of the Champions League play-off, scheduled for next Wednesday at 20:00, at the Estádio da Luz, which promises to be packed.

“With the focus directed towards the reception of Fenerbahçe, a match of the 2nd leg of the play-off to access the league phase of the Champions League, scheduled for Wednesday, August 27, at the Estádio da Luz, Benfica's professional football team is committed to preparing for the duel with the Turkish opponent”, revealed the Clube da Luz, in a news article published on the site.

Among the shared images, note Tiago Gouveia, who, despite being on his way out of Benfica, continues to work integrated into Bruno Lage's squad for now. The 24-year-old winger, trained at the eagles, is expected to move to Nice, with the Clube da Luz earning a significant amount.

Also, note a conversation between Bruno Lage and Fredrik Aursnes. The 29-year-old Norwegian has been one of the standout players in Benfica's season opener. In the game against Tondela, after a beautiful pass from Andreas Schjelderup, the winger fired a real bomb into the back of the net.

Benfica returns to action next Wednesday at 20:00, hosting José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe at the Estádio da Luz, after the 0-0 draw in Turkey. The game is the second leg of the play-off to access the league phase of the Champions League and is of extreme importance for the reds.
