After the final whistle of the Benfica - Real Madrid (0-1) match, Samuel Dahl expressed his opinion regarding thePrestianni - Vinícius Jr. case, arguing that the celebration of the Brazilian forward after his goal was provocative not only towards the team but also to the Benfica fans.
"I wasn't there, I didn't hear anything, he scored a good goal, but then he was a bit disrespectful to the Benfica fans and to us," began the Benfica number 26, speaking to Sport TV, targeting the attitude of the Brazilian international forward.
Additionally, the Swedish full-back emphasized that it was "difficult to respond," as the previous game against the Merengues ended in a completely different manner. "We played against a very good team. Maybe we should have pushed a bit more in the other one. Now [in the play-off], there are two games," he stressed.
"We wanted to achieve a better result, but we are still alive and will fight for qualification in the next game. It's 1-0 and there are 90 minutes left. We scored four in the previous game. Of course, qualification is possible," added Samuel Dahl.
In conclusion, the Benfica full-back mentioned the duels, in terms of the tactical aspect, with Vinícius and Mbappé: "They are top players, it's very difficult to play against them, we have to always be on alert. But it was good. I like competing with the best."
