Benfica flop reflects on time at the club: I’m proud | OneFootball

Julian Draxler expresses pride in the time he spent at Benfica, and wished good luck to the club for the 2025/26 season. The German winger, currently playing in the Qatar league, gave an interview to the Qatari league media and did not forget the Clube da Luz - as he had recently done.

"I was on loan for a season at Benfica, a great club. I really enjoyed the time I spent there. I was unlucky with many injuries. Still, I am proud to have won another title there," said Julian Draxler, the German winger who arrived at Luz from PSG.

He then commented on a photograph where he appears alongside João Mário and the championship trophy: "He is a great player and an excellent person. I wish Benfica the best of luck for this season, because last season it was Sporting who won the title."

It should be remembered that Julian Draxler joined Benfica in the 2022/23 season, on loan from PSG. The German winger's time at the club was marked by successive injuries, which prevented him from finding his best form while playing for the Eagles.

During his time at Benfica in the 2022/23 season, Julian Draxler - currently valued at 3.8 million euros - played only 18 matches: 10 in the Portuguese League, three in the Champions League, three in the League Cup, and two in the Portuguese Cup. The German international scored only two goals but was part of the national championship-winning squad, under the leadership of Roger Schmidt.
