Benfica make history in Milan, Corrula: “Now for the doom-mongers” | OneFootball

Benfica’s 2-0 win over Milan, at San Siro, continues to draw praise, and Jorge Corrula was not indifferent to the Eagles’ performance, especially as it was Benfica’s first-ever win on Milanese soil. The well-known actor highlighted the response from Marco Silva’s team, which, despite several changes to the starting eleven, managed to assert itself at one of the most historic venues in European football.

"Proud of this Benfica! We have a squad, not just eleven players. Nine changes from the previous starting eleven and the team still delivers. It showed maturity, focus and competitive spirit. Going to Milan, playing with a completely new lineup, and dominating like this means the coach is doing his job," he wrote.

Corrula also had a special word for Kaminski and Lukebakio, two players who had been under criticism, saying that both finally gave a response on the pitch, while also taking a swipe at the critics of the Reds.

"Now I’m waiting for the comments from the ‘prophets of doom’ who claimed that Benfica still hadn’t had a real test. Well then, the first win in their history at San Siro."
