French media rave about Benfica star: keep an eye on this name | OneFootball

The French press has once again turned its attention to Benfica’s academy, this time highlighting Gonçalo Moreira, a young midfielder who has been earning more space and was even used by the first team this season under José Mourinho.

After the Eagles’ elimination against Club Brugge in the Youth League semi-finals, the player’s name gained international attention, with Foot Mercato clearly underlining his potential: "Keep an eye on this name: Gonçalo Moreira. He is the new gem of Benfica’s academy… and he is not the only one".

The 20-year-old midfielder started in the decisive match of the European youth competition, where Benfica ended up losing 3-1, in a game that marked the end of the Eagles’ run in the tournament this season, despite the presence of several standout youngsters.

The young prodigy has already fulfilled his dream of playing for the first team in the last match. His debut, although brief against Nacional (one game, one minute in the league), reflects a steady path built across the other competitions throughout the season.
