Pavlidis makes history in Benfica’s humiliating defeat to Qarabag | OneFootball

Benfica lost 3-2 to Qarabag in the first round of the Champions League. Vangelis Pavlidis scored one of the goals and made a direct entry into the history of the Luz club, as one of the top 10 scorers of the reds in UEFA's millionaire competition.

Pavlidis has eight goals in 13 Champions League games, curiously all with the Benfica jersey. The forward, international for the Greek national team, joins António Simões in tenth place, both with eight accurate shots in the competition.

One place above are Rafa Silva and João Mário. The players who passed through Luz both have nine goals in the Champions League and Pavlidis promises to fight and try to beat these numbers, especially after the surprising defeat to the Azerbaijanis.
