Chelsea key player – Benfica star opens up on dark times: “I was alone” | OneFootball

Alejandro Garnacho revealed that he went through a very difficult period at Manchester United, where he was guided, and eventually ‘let go’, by Ruben Amorim. The Argentine winger was a central figure in the Chelsea - Benfica match, having made the cross that resulted in Richard Ríos’s own goal.

At the end of the match against Benfica, Alejandro Garnacho spoke specifically about those unfortunate moments in his career. Speaking to TNT Sports, the Argentine winger talked about the victory over the Eagles, but also recalled the period when he crossed paths with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.

“Those were difficult times for me, I was alone, training alone. But I have nothing bad to say about the club. It was a bad moment in my life, but now I’m happy to be here, to play in this competition, and for us to have won the three points,” Alejandro Garnacho began to explain.

The former protégé of Ruben Amorim continued: “When I was little, I dreamed of playing in the Champions League and, here it is, now that dream has come true. We earned three important points, we needed that after losing the first match, so we’re happy.”

It should be remembered that Benfica was defeated 1-0 by Chelsea in the match counting for the second round of the Champions League group stage. The Eagles will return to the field next Sunday, October 5, at 9:15 pm, to play the classic against Porto at the Estádio do Dragão.
