Florentino endures a debut to forget as Burnley face Liverpool (Video) | OneFootball

Florentino emerged defeated from the Burnley - Liverpool match, marking his debut for his new Premier League team. The defensive midfielder, who was a regular starter under Bruno Lage in 2024/25, transferred from Clube da Luz to England during the summer break, and has already played his first game on Her Majesty's soil.

Florentino was the only player from Benfica on the match sheet for the game that pitted Burnley against Liverpool, the champions of the last edition of the Champions League. It's worth remembering that Darwin Nuñez was part of this victorious campaign for the reds, but he ended up leaving the English club at the end of the season.

The game was not easy for Liverpool. Florentino started on the bench, but the first half was marked by inefficiency, with the English champions demonstrating their superiority, but failing to score the lead goal. The score was nil-nil when the referee blew for half-time.

In the second half, the story was similar, with a few different details: Florentino entered the field at the 63' mark, to help secure the precious draw for Burnley. He almost succeeded, but in the injury time, Hannibal handled the ball inside the penalty area - Salah didn't waste the penalty, and scored at 90+5', to confirm a hard-fought victory for Liverpool.

This result maintains Liverpool's 100% winning record after four games, despite many of these matches being decided in the final minutes. Burnley, on the other hand, is in 17th place in the Premier League, with three losses and one win so far.
