Benfica flop reflects on time at the club: Proud of my journey | OneFootball

Julian Draxler says he is proud of his time at Benfica, and wished the red club good luck for the 2025/26 season. The German winger, who now plays in the Qatari league, gave an interview to the Qatari league media and did not forget the Club of Light – as he had done recently.

"I was on loan for a season at Benfica, a great club. I really enjoyed my time there. I was unlucky with many injuries. Even so, I am proud to have won another title there," began 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 league 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, coming from PSG on loan. The German winger’s time at the red club was marked by successive injuries, which prevented him from finding his best form while playing for the Eagles.

While 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 champion squad, under the command of Roger Schmidt.
