After pointing out that he wants to see the Belgian international do more in the next match against Vitória Guimarães, José Mourinho revealed to journalists what he said to Lukebakio at the end of the match: "I already joked with him asking who chose him as Man of the Match, because I wouldn't have chosen him".

"I went there with Benfica and I went there with Porto. Guimarães is a beautiful place to play, with fantastic supporters, a historic club and stadium, which we learn to admire from a young age. The thrill would be to win there and come back with the three points", referred the Special One.

It should be noted that Benfica secured a spot in the final four of the League Cup after defeating Tondela, with goals from Otamendi, Lukebakio, and Pavlidis. In the next match, on November 1st, the Eagles will face Vitória Guimarães in the 10th round of Liga Portugal Betclic.
