Benfica's triumph over AVS (3-0) began with a goal from Alexander Bah, who returned to competition after more than a year away due to a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee which he suffered on February 8, 2025.

A significant moment that did not go unnoticed by several of his teammates, who left messages of support for the Danish international on social media. One of them was the Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin.

"Happy to see you back," wrote the 24-year-old athlete on Instagram. The same platform where Fredrik Aursnes, absent from the game against AVS to rest for the trip to Madrid, wrote "Welcome back". As for Andreas Schjelderup, considered the Man of the Match, he referred to the number "6" as "my brother."

It's worth remembering that Bah was involved in a humorous episode with Schjelderup. Benfica, on their social media, posted a photo of both with the caption "Super Danish bros," an expression suggesting a Danish duo, creating a geographical error, as Schjelderup is actually Norwegian.

Benfica will return to the field next Wednesday, February 25, against Real Madrid. The match, part of the second leg of the Champions League play-off, will be played at 20:00 at the Bernabéu. The game will be broadcast on Sport TV5.
