Fernando on Benfica duels, Luz blackout celebrations and scars from title lost under Jesualdo | OneFootball

According to O Jogo, Fernando has reflected on his Porto clashes with Benfica, recalling celebrations at Luz during a blackout.

The midfielder remembers how supporters lived those occasions and points to a magical year in the meetings with the rivals.

He recognises the wounds from the title lost under Jesualdo, a season marked by confusion in the Luz tunnel.

Fernando adds that André Villas-Boas absorbed that episode and knew how to galvanise the group from it.

Multiple experiences at the Dragão left epic memories, from trophies to showdowns that felt like a fairy tale, and he says he misses Pinto da Costa.
