Rui Costa's reaction after Benfica v Qarabag gets people talking (Video) | OneFootball

Last night, to everyone’s surprise, Benfica was defeated in their debut in the Champions League, as they hosted Qarabag from Azerbaijan, which led to the dismissal of Bruno Lage. At the end of the match, images began to emerge of Rui Costa, President of the Eagles, whose behavior did not please the fans.

Through the social network X, formerly Twitter, a supporter of the Club of Light shared a video where it was possible to see the leader of the Reds, moments after the final whistle, ‘hiding’ among the crowd present in the stands of Estádio da Luz, an attitude that was not well received by the fans.

In the same post, the said Benfica supporter vented, warning that the current situation of the Reds cannot continue and that a structural change at Benfica is necessary, demanding that changes be made starting October 25, when the members will vote to elect the new top executive and respective governing bodies of the Eagles.

The departure of Bruno Lage has been confirmed, after an emergency meeting with Rui Costa, reaching a mutual agreement to leave the Club of Light. With their sights set on AVS, the next opponent, the Eagles are now searching for a new coach and the press reports that José Mourinho is the name that most interests the club’s officials.

In a match that seemed destined to be a winning start in the millionaires’ competition, Benfica, after being two goals ahead, was surprised by their opponent, who managed a comeback and ended up winning by three goals to two.
