Porto were thrashed by Benfica and Eagles man taunts: Great fun | OneFootball

After winning the Super Cup against Porto, with a 5-1 thrashing, Benfica’s women’s team took the opportunity to spend time with the fans. The Reds held an autograph session at the Estádio da Luz, in an initiative that served to celebrate the first title of the season, but also to look ahead to the return of Liga BPI.

Within the squad, Marit Lund took on the role of spokesperson for the Reds. On the sidelines of the autograph session, the 28-year-old Norwegian left-back looked back on winning the Super Cup and looked ahead to a season full of ambition: “It was an incredible way to start the season. The fans were amazing and it was great to see so many turn up for the Super Cup final. It was a lot of fun,” she said.

Like Ivan Baptista, the player said Benfica’s objective is to win every trophy and also highlighted the club’s European ambition: “As for the season, we want to fight for every trophy and we want to put in a good performance in the Champions League. It’s going to be an exciting season,” she concluded.

The Eagles are setting out in search of a seventh straight league title, and Ivan Baptista is not hiding his ambition for the new season: to win every domestic title. The 34-year-old Benfica coach openly acknowledged the scale of the objective.

“This is a new season, a new season with major changes to the squad, which is part of the process, and new challenges arise. We set ourselves a challenge because we are not afraid to do so: we want to win everything domestically! We are the only team in Portugal that does it, that puts itself forward as a contender for all those titles. We are not afraid to do it, knowing the responsibility that comes with it.”
