Luís Filipe Borges on Benfica v Qarabag: says a lot about... | OneFootball

Benfica lost 3-2 to Qarabag, in a humiliating manner, in the first round of the Champions League. Luís Filipe Borges was quite upset with the result, stating that the club lacks "leadership" from the management to the pitch.

"Hundreds of millions of euros spent electorally to lose at home to this Qarabag. It is symptomatic of a club adrift and without any leadership, whether on the field, on the bench, or in the stands," he said in statements to the newspaper Record.

"Benfica started well for 20 minutes and then became a different team," assured Paulo Madeira, recalling that the club from Luz "conceded the 2-1 and entered the second half very poorly." For the former footballer, "Qarabag took control of the game and ended up turning it around. A heavy defeat."

António Manuel Ribeiro also expressed dissatisfaction: "I have three questions: how many internationals play for Benfica? When will that stardom give us a team? And where have we seen this movie before?" Finally, the musician gave assurances, applauding the Eagles' goalkeeper: "And Trubin still prevented what would have been a bigger scandal!"

Benfica returns to the field next Saturday, September 20, at 6:00 PM, in Vila das Aves, against AVS. The match corresponds to the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The Eagles will play again for the Champions League on September 30, against Chelsea, in London.
