Rui Costa, Benfica’s president, said he was pleased with the 2-0 win over Milan and expressed confidence ahead of the trip to the Dragão, where the team will face FC Porto on Sunday in a league match.

“They responded very well, exemplary behavior, an important victory, the first [against Milan] in the club’s history. Even with Benfica rotating some players, it showed they have a strong squad. I’m happy; it is a special match for me, an emotional one, but as Benfica’s president I wanted this to be the result,” he told Sport TV, before the clash with FC Porto.

“It’s a different kind of game. I’m not worried; we are optimistic because of what we have, the squad we have, and the way the players have been performing,” he concluded.
