After defeating Benfica last Wednesday, the European champion does not rule out the possibility of joining Clube da Luz. These words were spoken by Alejandro Grimaldo, who recently faced his former team and was asked if he would return to wear the Sacred Mantle of the eagles.

I am happy with the victory. It was a very difficult game for us. In the first half, we couldn't press and they broke through easily. But we had our chances. And in the second half, Schick managed to score the winning goal. Then we had to endure, and we did,” analyzed Alejandro Grimaldo.

“Benfica played a great game. They have been playing very well in recent games. Not conceding, scoring many goals, and I believe they will win the championship. Am I rooting for Benfica? Yes, of course,” said Alejandro Grimaldo, who put on a good performance in the Champions League match.

I always support Benfica, from Germany. I try to follow the games I can watch on TV. And if not, I keep up through the internet and know that they are fighting for the championship, as always, and I believe they will win it,” stated Alejandro Grimaldo, showing the affection he has for Clube da Luz, where he played over 300 games.

We'll see [return to Benfica]. In football, anything can happen. I have a very good relationship with the president, Rui Costa. I like Benfica a lot, and something can always happen, but in the future, we'll see,” concluded Alejandro Grimaldo, when asked if he would like to return to the reds.
