Benfica v Napoli: David Neres returns to Portugal in top form | OneFootball

Benfica faces Napoli at the Estádio da Luz at 5:00 PM next Wednesday (10th) for the Champions League. Still without the injured Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, Napoli relies on the great form of Brazilian David Neres.

The Brazilian scored three goals and provided one assist in the last three matches in the Italian Championship and is experiencing his best phase since arriving in Naples. The club is seeking the Serie A championship and is currently the runner-up in the league.

David Neres played for Benfica between 2022 and 2024, helping the Lisbon team win the Portuguese Championship title in his first season. The player still receives a lot of affection from the Benfica fans and will reunite with his former club for the first time.

After the 1-0 victory against Roma in the Italian league, a match in which the former São Paulo player scored the winning goal, Neres was asked in an interview with DAZN if he was “back.” The number seven replied without hesitation: “I never left. I've always been here.”

In the next round of the Champions, Benfica will face Real Madrid at home, while Napoli travels to face Kobenhavn.
