Pany Varela pokes fun at Sporting after Benfica's League Cup win

Pany Varela, winger for Benfica’s futsal team, won a trophy with the Reds, fifteen years after his first stint at the Luz club. The Portuguese international was part of the team that thrashed Eléctrico 7-1 in the final of the League Cup.

After winning the title, the player marked the moment on social media with a post in which he appears with the trophy. In the caption of the photo, he wrote: “The difference is not in the places, but in you,” a phrase that many interpreted as a dig at Sporting.
