Squad goes all out with Benfica’s big goal in mind | OneFootball

Following the results seen in recent days, the Benfica squad is more than motivated for the final stretch of Liga Portugal Benfica. Based on information gathered by the press, the players know very well what is at stake and intend to achieve the goal that is within their reach.

According to Record newspaper, Benfica’s squad wants to secure the spot that grants access to the Champions League and has three finals left to seal that objective. The same source adds that José Mourinho’s message, in which he demands a place in the millionaire competition, does not need to be repeated, since the players are in tune with the Special One.

Taking advantage of Sporting’s draw in Vila das Aves, Benfica now depends only on itself to secure second place in Liga Portugal Betclic. If they manage to achieve that objective, set after the draw in Rio Maior, the Eagles will enter the play-offs for qualification to the millionaire competition.

However, for that scenario to happen, the Reds cannot afford any slip-ups in the final three league matches, or, at the very most, must always post a better result than the Lions, who also saw any chance of winning a third straight title disappear.

Benfica’s first challenge is an away trip to Famalicão, who, like the Reds, are also fighting for a place in European competitions, so caution is doubled, since Famalicão were the last team to take points off Porto, drawing at the Dragão. José Mourinho does not want to lose sight of the Champions League.
