Vangelis Pavlidis battling major frustration at Benfica | OneFootball

Vangelis Pavlidis is struggling to contain his frustration at Benfica, with the number 14 conscious of his current form and lack of goals. According to Glorioso 1904, the 27-year-old has endured testing weeks personally after failing to meet expectations.

The squad are said to be rallying around him. José Mourinho has been holding productive talks with the Greek, as he did with Richard Ríos and Samuel Dahl earlier in the season, to lift confidence during another scoring slump.

The match against Nacional is understood to have been the final straw, largely because he missed a penalty, breaking a run that stretched back to February 2025. He is seeking a response after registering only two goals in his last 10 outings.

This season Pavlidis has played 49 competitive games for Benfica, across 29 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Taça de Portugal, two in the Taça da Liga and one in the Supertaça. Across 4,037 minutes he has scored 29 goals and supplied five assists.

He is valued at 32 million euros.
