José Neto captains Benfica in 5-1 win as Real Madrid player reacts | OneFootball

José Neto enjoyed a standout night at Estádio da Luz, starting and wearing the captain's armband as Benfica beat Belenenses 5-1 in Friday's friendly.

According to Glorioso 1904, the left-back marked the occasion on social media with a single word, "Sonho", drawing replies from team-mates João Rego and Gonçalo Moreira.

One of the most noted comments came from Álvaro Carreras, a former Benfica left-back now at Real Madrid, who responded with two fire emojis to salute the Seixal graduate.

Marco Silva turned to Neto after the 2-1 defeat to St. Gallen in the first leg of the Europa League second qualifying round, and the youngster started against Belenenses.

Anísio Cabral, Ivanovic and Jhon Durán, a summer signing, scored, with Gianluca Prestianni netting twice in the warm-up game.

Benfica now focus on the Europa League, hosting St. Gallen at Estádio da Luz on Thursday, needing a win to overturn the tie and keep their bid for the competition’s league phase alive.
