On-fire Benfica star already having his best season, in September | OneFootball

Benfica’s start to the current season has been marked by overwhelming efficiency in the opening minutes of league matches. Marco Silva’s side have already opened the scoring before the 10-minute mark in three of the four Liga Portugal Betclic games they have played.

Among the various standout players in the Eagles’ squad, Gianluca Prestiannihas taken on an absolutely spectacular leading role. The gifted Argentine forward is in superb form and has been one of the most influential figures in attack in building these victories.

The Eagles’ number ‘25’ scored a stunning curling strike against Marítimo, confirming the excellent spell he is enjoying at the Luz. With this clinical effort, the player reached six goals in just eight official matches during the current campaign.

These numbers take on even greater significance when compared with the young player’s record last season. In 2025, the Argentine had scored three goals in 41 matches, meaning he has already doubled that tally by September.

The youngster’s excellent performances confirm the consolidation of his talent in European football in a Benfica shirt. The forward’s progress has left the club’s hierarchy fully won over by his potential at a time when the team are preparing to catch up on fixtures in the league.
