Benfica star celebrates another title, but makes vow: win seven in a row | OneFootball

Pauleta, a Portuguese international and Benfica player, was thrilled with the club’s sixth consecutive national title. At the end of the match against Braga, the footballer admitted it had been a very complicated journey for the Inspiradoras but, with the title in the bag, the player is already only thinking about lifting a seventh with the Sacred Mantle.

"It feels like everyone wants to beat us because of this run of titles. The latest titles have been more difficult and, year after year, there is more excitement, but they have all been difficult," began the Portuguese-Spanish footballer, speaking to newspaper O Jogo after the final whistle at Estádio Aurélia Morais, where they beat the side from Minho 3-1.

"Yes, I already consider myself something of a reference at the club. I’m the only one who has been here since the first year [the start of Benfica women’s football]. I embraced this project with great courage and I feel very identified with its values," added Pauleta, very proud of the journey she has made wearing the eagle on her chest.

"Of course, without a doubt, after ticking off the sixth, the first thing that comes to mind is winning the seventh. We always start the season with the goal of winning the league and we say that without shame and with courage: we want to be champions," said the Portuguese-Spanish footballer, already thinking about the much-desired seventh consecutive Liga BPI title.
