Ex-Benfica star buys breakfast and consoles after Europa League win | OneFootball

Aston Villa’s Europa League triumph continues to produce curious moments off the pitch, and one of the key figures in that run, who also had a notable spell at Benfica, has once again been in the spotlight for completely different reasons.

This is Victor Lindelöf, the former centre-back who won back-to-back titles with Benfica in 2016 and 2017, who decided to mark the start of the Swedish national team’s World Cup training camp with a hugely generous gesture towards his teammates.

The defender, now playing for Aston Villa, treated the squad to a full breakfast, in a moment of togetherness that quickly caught the attention of the international press and Swedish fans. But that was not all.

Lindelöf also handed out more unexpected gifts: an instant camera for each teammate, as well as Nintendo Switch consoles, in a gesture widely seen as a celebration of the moment following the recent European triumph.

It should be remembered that the former Benfica centre-back, an important figure during his time at the Luz, signed for Aston Villa last summer after several years at Manchester United, and has already made dozens of Premier League appearances for the Birmingham club.
