Fredrik Aursnes was the player chosen to speak with journalists ahead of the match against Real Madrid. Alongside João Tralhão, the Norwegian international was confronted with the controversy that has persisted since the match between Benfica and the Merengues. However, he chose not to comment on Prestianni's suspension.

Does the group have the necessary focus for tomorrow?

"Yes, obviously. We know how complex it is, but the focus is the same as in previous games. It’s a final and the team’s focus is total."

It should be noted that the Norwegian footballer answered almost none of the questions, as all the journalists present only asked about the Gianluca Prestianni case, after Benfica had emphasized that they would not answer any questions on the controversial topic.

It is worth recalling that, at Lisbon Airport, Rui Costa broke the silence, mentioning the Argentine’s situation while also defending his presumption of innocence before boarding the plane to Madrid for the Champions League match.

Remember that the match between Benfica and Real Madrid is scheduled for this Wednesday, February 25, at 8:00 p.m., and the outcome will determine which team advances to the round of 16 of the Champions League. The match will be broadcast on Sport TV and will be refereed by Slavko Vincic.
