Benfica’s victory over AFS SAD (3-0), last Saturday, in the 23rd round of Liga Portugal Betclic, sparked several reactions among the red players on social media, with clear emphasis on Alexander Bah’s return to competition.

The right-back started for the first time in over a year after suffering a serious injury to his left knee and made a great comeback by scoring the team’s first goal at Estádio da Luz. The Danish international’s performance was immediately praised by his teammates.

For his part, Vangelis Pavlidis emphasized the impact of the win by writing “Three points and a kit with something extra”, suggesting that, beyond the victory, the team gained extra confidence for the challenges ahead.
