Breaking news! Villas-Boas says Porto will file complaint against Benfica | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas assured that Porto will file a complaint with the FPF against Vangelis Pavlidis, due to an incident with Gabri Veiga, in the classic match that Benfica played in the last classic on October 5th. The President of the northern club broke the news firsthand.

André Villas-Boas is attending the Portugal Football Globes ceremony, where the greatest figures in Portuguese football over the past year will be honored. The President of Porto spoke to the media present at the event and addressed the last classic match.

When questioned about some refereeing decisions, he said: "I find Pavlidis's aggression more serious than the penalty on Deniz Gul. The penalty is a situation that needs to be judged. In my opinion, the VAR fails completely because it should have called the referee to review the play again."

"I regret that it did not happen. Pavlidis's aggression is serious, and FC Porto will file a complaint about this aggression because it is violent and could have caused much more harm to our player. The VAR should have immediately intervened in this case," André Villas-Boas stated afterward.

It should be remembered that Benfica and Porto met last Sunday at the Dragão stadium for the classic match of the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Eagles and dragons ended the match in a goalless draw, which left the difference between the two clubs at four points, with the advantage to the blue and whites.
