Benfica B player departs and admits it wasn’t the ending he dreamed of | OneFootball

A member of the eagles' secondary team saw his connection with Benfica end, after several years wearing the sacred mantle

Benfica announced the end of the bond with Filipe Cruz, a player who lined up for the red team B, and who is heading to Felgueiras this season. The player remains in the Meu Super League, the second tier of Portuguese football, where the eagles have recently slipped again.

Filipe Cruz, a 23-year-old winger, did all his training at Benfica, spending more than a decade at the Club da Luz. One of the highest moments serving the eagles was the dispute of the final of the UEFA Youth League in 2020, a very important game in the history of the red training ranks.

Benfica left a farewell note through its official channels for Filipe Cruz, where they thank the "example of commitment and dedication" of the player who was part of the red team B in the last five seasons, and who now sees his journey at Luz come to an end.

The player, in turn, also took advantage of his social networks to leave a farewell message to the red emblem: "Today I close my cycle at Benfica. It was not at all the outcome that I dreamed of for many years but it is time to face reality and move forward".
