Academy star sends message after Benfica – Twente: not the result we wanted | OneFootball

Lara Martins believes that the Reds could have done more in the 1-1 draw between Benfica and Twente. In her analysis of the result from the third round of the Champions League – and following Ivan Batista’s comments – the young player from the Eagles’ youth academy highlighted the importance of playing at Estádio da Luz.

"It was a match where we could have done more. Still, it was a well-played game on our part. There are things we need to work on, of course, knowing that the result wasn’t the best, it wasn’t what we wanted,” said Lara Martins, the 19-year-old from Benfica’s women’s football team.

“We are aware that we did a lot of things very well and maybe we deserved to win. We worked for it. Playing at Estádio da Luz is always a huge achievement for any player, especially for academy players who grow up at this Club,” Lara Martins concluded, analyzing the events of Benfica – Twente.

In turn, Neide Guedes made a promise to Benfica fans: “The team is very united, we are always very focused, we always work hard and our goal is to win. We are already focused on the next match to get the three points and continue in this competition. The team can promise a lot of commitment, unity, and determination on the field. Always! We always give everything to win.”

Benfica’s women’s football team will be back in action next Wednesday, November 19, against Paris FC. The match, part of the fourth round of the Champions League, will be played at the home of the French side, led by Sandrine Soubeyrand, at 8:00 p.m. Ivan Batista’s team is aiming for their first win in the competition.
