Rui Costa breaks silence after Casa Pia-Benfica, issues stark warning | OneFootball

Rui Costa has already reacted to Benfica’s most recent result, in remarks made on the sidelines of a meeting with the Socialist Party’s parliamentary group at the Assembly of the Republic. The Benfica president commented on the situation after the meeting held this Wednesday.

“Does the result compromise our ambitions in the league? Very much so, very much so. It was a more than unexpected draw, one that should not have happened, should not have happened... And it leaves us in an even more difficult situation than the one we were already in,” he told the newspaper A Bola.

The Eagles’ president also stressed that the team has an obligation to keep fighting until the end of the competition.“It is our duty to fight until the end, it is our duty to erase the image of what we did against Casa Pia”, he underlined.

The chairman also spoke about the context in which the meeting with the Socialist Party took place, explaining that the subject of refereeing was not on the table. Despite the various recent controversies involving Liga clubs, Rui Costa assured that the issue was not discussed during the institutional meeting.
