Academy star sends message after Benfica – Twente: Not what we wanted | OneFootball

Lara Martins believes that the team in red could have done more in the 1-1 draw between Benfica and Twente. In her analysis of the result from the third round of the Champions League – following Ivan Batista's remarks –, the young player from the Eagles' squad highlighted the importance of playing at Estádio da Luz.

"It was a game where we could have done more. But still, it was a well-played match on our part. We have things to work on, of course, knowing that the result wasn't the best, it wasn't what we wanted,” began Lara Martins, the 19-year-old from Benfica's women's football team.

“We are aware that we did very good things and perhaps deserved a victory. We worked for it. Playing at Estádio da Luz is always a grand achievement for any player, especially for the academy players who grow up at this Club,” concluded Lara Martins, analyzing the events of Benfica – Twente.

Meanwhile, Neide Guedes made a promise to Benfica fans: “The team is very united, we are always very focused, we always work hard, and our goal is to win. We are already focused on the next game to secure the three points and continue in this competition. The team can promise a lot of commitment, unity, and grit on the field. Always! We are always giving everything to win.”

Benfica's women's football team will be back in action next Wednesday, November 19, against Paris FC. The match, part of the fourth round of the Champions League, will be played at the home ground of the French team, led by Sandrine Soubeyrand, at 8:00 PM. Ivan Batista's team aims to secure their first victory in the competition.
