Benfica stars return, Rafael Quintas hails World Cup triumph | OneFootball

Rafael Quintas did not hide his happiness upon arriving in Portugal. Near the Humberto Delgado Airport, the young Benfica player and captain of the National Team shared how he has been feeling after the Under-17 World Cup victory. The footballer emphasized that it has been “an incredible moment.”

“It is an incredible moment for our lives, the fans are very important to us,” began the young player from the red formation, reacting to the euphoric reception that Bino Maçães's players received directly when they exited the terminal area of Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon.

“It has been a long time. Now we want to enjoy it with our loved ones,” replied the Eagles player about missing home, also taking the opportunity to talk about the trophy: “We shared it... many have been with it.”

“We are all very good friends with each other, very united. We have known each other for many years, which is key to our success,” revealed the captain of the National Team, sharing with journalists the recipe that led to the competition's victory.

“It is incredible. Our idols, on the big stages, supporting us. It is incredible,” added, finally, Rafael Quintas, reacting emotionally to the fact that João Palhinha — a reference for the young Benfica player — had sent a congratulatory message.
