Ivan Baptista after Benfica-Sporting: This team don't lose... | OneFootball

Benfica once again demonstrated their supremacy in women’s football by beating Sporting 3-1 at the Estádio da Luz on Matchday 17 of the Liga BPI. The match served as the stage for the celebration of a sixth consecutive league title, already secured earlier, and drew more than 12,000 fans to the stands to celebrate a historic run. At the end, Ivan Baptista did not hide his pride and highlighted the team’s consistency with a remarkable record.

“This team has not lost a league match in more than two years. It is something very difficult to achieve; it takes a lot of work and a lot of resilience in many moments. We finished the league in the best possible way, and today they showed that,” he began by saying after the match.

The coach also made a point of underlining the Club’s high standards, even with the title already secured. “We objectively did not need these three points for anything, but we know that, at the club we are at, we have to approach these matches to win, as we did today”, he stressed.

Caroline Moller is also experiencing a special moment. The Danish forward, a national champion for the first time, revealed the impact of her move to the Luz after a difficult spell. “I came from a difficult time at Real Madrid; I had not played much last season. When I arrived here, I needed to find my form again and feel like a player once more,” she said.

The international went on to highlight the role of the group. “I have the trust of the coach and also of the team, of all the players. They helped me rediscover my form and score goals again,” she said, reiterating her gratitude.
