Trubin reflects on difficult month at Benfica after Europa League return | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin acknowledged August was a difficult spell after losing his place to Samuel Soares, then returned to Benfica’s XI in the UEFA Europa League opener, a 2-0 win over Milan.

The Ukrainian made four saves from Milan’s four shots on target. According to Glorioso 1904, he is set to start Europa League games as Marco Silva rotates with Soares to maintain rhythm, preserve market value and sustain competition.

This was his first start since the 30 July home meeting with St Gallen in the second leg of the Europa League second qualifying round. Marking the occasion, he said he lived every moment, called it a historic win together and thanked supporters, adding that faith and hard work matter.

Trubin joined Benfica in the summer of 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk for 10 million euros plus 1 million in objectives. Shakhtar retained 40% of any future capital gain.

The 25-year-old has 152 appearances for the club.
