Star who won title with Benfica makes history in Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

Andreia Faria recently won the Saudi league title while playing for Al Nassr. The Portugal international, who left Benfica in the summer transfer window, has therefore ended her debut season in the best possible way by achieving a treble with the Riyadh side.

The national title was confirmed last Thursday, March 26, when Al Nassr won away at Al Hilal. Andreia Faria’s team thrashed their rivals 4-1, who are coached by Portuguese manager Luís Andrade and have former Benfica player Jéssica Silva in the squad.

As a result, Al Nassr secured the national championship with still two matches left to play. So far, Andreia Faria’s side, who won several titles at Benfica, have recorded 11 wins in the 12 matches played in the competition.

By lifting the Saudi League trophy, Andreia Faria thus completed a treble in her debut season, adding the league title to the successes achieved in the Cup and the Super Cup. It ended up being a dream season for the Portuguese player, who never forgot Benfica.

"Of course, Benfica is my home, where I spent eight victorious years and experienced very happy moments. If I had stayed there, I would not have been unhappy, but Al Nassr was the next step in my career, a new adventure I wanted to have," said the attacking midfielder in a recent interview.
