Back in José Mourinho’s starting line-up, Gianluca Prestianni provided two assists in Benfica’s 2-0 win at home to Nacional in the 29th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The Argentine is already looking ahead to the eternal derby against Sporting next Sunday.

"It was good to respond at home with our fans, after the 1-1 draw with Casa Pia. There are five finals left, now Sporting is next and we’re going to give our best to win all five games", said the 20-year-old player in comments to the club’s channel, BTV.

The winger revealed that he always gives his all on the pitch. "On a personal level, that’s what I try to show in every game, to give 120 percent; sometimes things work out, other times they don’t. My idea is to add what I have to the team and give my best on the pitch", he said.

It is worth remembering that with this result, the Lisbon club got back on track in the league after a very damaging slip-up in Rio Maior, away to Casa Pia. After 29 rounds, Benfica sit in third place with 69 points, two behind Sporting (71), although the Lions have a game in hand, and seven behind Porto (76).
