Rui Costa may file complaint against Varela: "Fairness for all"

In statements to TSF this Thursday, Rui Costa admitted the possibility of Benfica filing a complaint against Alan Varela following an intervention by FC Porto on Pavlidis.

"If we are going to file complaints about a normal situation like that, we also have reasons to do so. Do I like getting into such a situation? No, I don't like it, but it's a response and if it's valid for one side, it has to be valid for the other," said the president of the reds.
