Surprise! Benfica win sees special guests in the stands | OneFootball

The match between Benfica and Vitória de Guimarães was held at a packed Estádio da Luz, with João Neves standing out among the fans. Rested from the PSG vs. Nice game, which took place on the same day, the Portuguese international relived memories of his formative club.

According to reports, the Parisian number 87, once again dealing with an injury, made it a point to travel to Lisbon, where he once more experienced the atmosphere of the Inferno da Luz. Based on shared photographs, João Neves watched Benfica's victory from one of the stadium's boxes, alongside António Silva, the Benfica defender, who is serving a suspension.

However, the cameras of the newspaper Record managed to capture João Neves's presence, who was also accompanied by his girlfriend, Madalena Aragão. As far as is known, the Portuguese international's presence went unnoticed by Benfica fans, only becoming public after some news began to circulate.

However, it is important to note that João Neves was not the only former Benfica player present at Estádio da Luz. In a social media post, Julian Weigl also noted that he had watched the victory of the "encarnados" against the team from Guimarães. The German footballer was welcomed by Fredrik Aursnes.

After a tough win in Arouca in the previous round, the "encarnados" comfortably secured three points in front of their fans.
