Benfica Benfica continues its preparation for the Clássico with the utmost focus. According to reports, the club from Luz is fully focused on the duel against Porto and the pressure is high, with the squad, under the orders of José Mourinho, knowing there is no room for error.

According to the newspaper O Jogo, the atmosphere at Seixal is one of maximum confidence, but also a certain caution, since this is a highly demanding match against a direct rival in the race for the title. The same source confirmed that the message has already been delivered to the players, as Glorioso 1904 had also reported.

José Mourinho has already stressed, on several occasions, that he will only give up when winning the championship is no longer mathematically possible. Until then, every game, every point counts for the Eagles’ ambitions. This is the message that the Special One is said to have conveyed to the Benfica squad.

On the other hand, the 63-year-old coach is looking for new solutions in midfield to make up for the absence of Fredrik Aursnes, who will be sidelined for at least three weeks. However, the same newspaper reports that Mourinho has several alternatives.

It is worth remembering that the match is scheduled for this Sunday, March 8, at Estádio da Luz, at 6:00 pm. The match will be refereed by João Pinheiro.
