Alejandro Grimaldo was responsible for previewing Bayer Leverkusen's visit to Benfica's ground. In the lead-up to the match, the former Eagles player warned the Reds that the Germans are in search of victory and recalled his years at the club.

"It will be a very special game. When I entered the stadium, I felt strong emotions. I think the team is ready to play. It's a very important game for us. We will be looking for the three points," the Spanish international began by saying.

"I played seven and a half years at Benfica, always as a starter. It's not for everyone. I am very happy with my journey at the club," said Grimaldo, who left a mark at Estádio da Luz and on all the fans, due to his many seasons at the club.
