“We played a very good game, but we didn't score and in football, if you don't score, you suffer. We created good opportunities, but without scoring, it becomes more difficult to win,” Leandro Barreiro began by stating in comments to Sport TV, after another setback for Benfica in this edition of the Champions League.

“The positive is that we created many chances. We have to train to score more in the next game,” concluded Leandro Barreiro, who was one of José Mourinho's surprises for Benfica – Leverkusen. The 25-year-old midfielder started the match and was substituted in the 69th minute by Gianluca Prestianni.

This season, playing for Benfica, Leandro Barreiro – valued at 15 million euros – has played 20 matches: 10 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, one in the Taça de Portugal, one in the Taça da Liga, and another in the Supertaça. In total, in the 670 minutes he played, the midfielder made four assists.

Next Sunday, at 8:30 PM, José Mourinho's team will host Casa Pia at the Estádio da Luz. The match corresponds to the 11th round of the National Championship.
