On Wednesday, December 10th, Benfica achieved their second consecutive victory in the Champions League group stage, keeping themselves in the race for qualification, by defeating the Italian champion Napoli 2-0 at home, in the sixth round match. At the end of the game, Richard Ríos was happy with the three points and assures that he still has much to offer in service of the Clube da Luz.

We didn’t score in the first opportunities, but we kept pushing and achieved the victory," he began by saying to SportTV, showing confidence for the upcoming games.

"It's much easier when the team enters with a strong mentality. Football is not about regrets, the next game is always the most important. Now we have two finals in the next two games and we have to approach them the same way. We know that Champions League games are made of details, so we have to know how to play them and make as few mistakes as possible," he mentioned.

The midfielder also discussed his adaptation to the squad: "I continue to grow because of my teammates, the team that always supports me. I still have a lot to add, I know what I can give and this is not my limit. I didn't rest until I achieved it, but I'm happy to help the team, which is the most important. Today I won the individual award and the three points and I am very happy about it."
