Diego Moreira whistled by Benfica fans at San Siro after wayward effort | OneFootball

Diego Moreira was whistled by Benfica supporters at San Siro during the Europa League league-phase meeting with Milan. Glorioso 1904 reports the reaction followed a wayward effort from the Belgian winger.

The flashpoint came on 70 minutes, from a Milan corner. The ball spilled beyond Anatoliy Trubin's area to Moreira in space, and he went for goal.

His attempt skewed out of play for a throw, prompting an immediate chorus of whistles from the Benfica end inside the Italian stadium.

The response is tied to his Benfica exit. The Seixal-trained wide man rejected a new deal in 2023 and left for Chelsea on a free that summer.

Several years on, Benfica supporters have not forgotten, and the San Siro reunion offered a fresh chance to voice their displeasure.
