Javier Saviola is back in Portugal, where he attended a promotional event alongside Betano. In statements to the media, the Argentine couldn't help but talk about Benfica, its current status, and he also took the opportunity to predict the success that the Eagles will have in the Champions League debut.

Present at a promotional event, the former forward of the Glorious took the opportunity to talk to journalists about Benfica and also shared his opinion on Nuno Gomes. Before that, he addressed the Champions debut: "Expectant, like everyone at Benfica, that this new stage starts well. Without a doubt, Benfica has a great team, with very good players. There are high expectations that this will be a good year in Europe."

Regarding his time at Luz, the Argentine spoke about what he misses the most: "The people, the affection, the appreciation. Being in such an iconic stadium, with so much history, like the Estádio da Luz, was a privilege, an honor. Being part of the history of this enormous club. With my family, my children, we always tried to return to Benfica to teach them about its people, its passionate fans."

Asked about his compatriots at the Clube da Luz, Saviola said: "Unfortunately, Di María has already returned to Rosario, he was a player whom the fans could enjoy a lot, he gave many good things, games, successes. I spoke with Nuno Gomes and commented that the Argentinians in Portugal and at Benfica were very lucky. We are happy to be part of the club's history."

Finally, Javier Saviola assured that the Reds will go far in the European competition: "Surely they will reach high. The team has a great coach, it just needs that step to really place itself among the greatest in Europe, to form a team every year that has confidence and stability."
