Ljubomir Fejsa, the midfielder who wore Benfica’s jersey between 2013 and 2019, has not forgotten Benfica even after leaving. The former Serbian international celebrated his son Mateo’s ninth birthday with a party where red and the eagle symbol were present in every detail.
In the images shared by Fejsa himself on social media, you can see Mateo and his friends dressed in Benfica clothing, surrounded by a cake decorated with various references to the club. The ex-player described the day as “special” and left an emotional message for his son: “Nine years have gone by so quickly, and now you’re a little boy and you’re going to read this. Mom and Dad are very proud of you, you are the best son in the world.”
Fejsa’s connection to Benfica was also remembered by fans and former teammates. Nemanja Matic, who also played for the Eagles between 2011 and 2014, reacted to the post, reinforcing the bond between the former players and the red institution.
Mateo’s birthday was not just a family celebration, but also a demonstration of Fejsa’s ongoing affection for the club. Although he no longer plays for the Reds, Benfica remains present in the daily life of the former midfielder and his family, showing that the relationship built in Seixal goes far beyond the pitch.
Ljubomir Fejsa, who defended the red club for 6 years, won five National Championships, 2 Portuguese Cups – a competition Benfica will enter on Wednesday against Porto – 3 League Cups and 3 Super Cups.
