Lukebakio greeted by Benfica fans at Seixal after Moreirense flashpoint | OneFootball

Lukebakio was warmly received by Benfica fans outside the Seixal training centre, days after his heated reaction against Moreirense.

According to Glorioso 1904, around 30 supporters turned up, encouraged by recent results that have moved the team clear in second place.

The episode followed the winger’s frustration at being substituted versus Moreirense, which prompted public criticism from José Mourinho.

This time the Belgian international smiled, engaged with those present and even left his car to pose for photos and sign autographs.

He has already apologised for his reaction, saying it was driven by the heat of the moment, and pledged to repay the backing on the pitch.

Rafa Silva was also among the most applauded, underlining his popularity within the squad, as supporters called for victory at Famalicão on Saturday.
