Benfica complain about fireworks at 3am near players' hotel 🧨 | OneFootball

The night before Wednesday's Classic at Estádio do Dragão did not provide complete rest for the Benfica delegation.

The team claims they were disturbed by fireworks near the hotel where they were staying, around three in the morning.

The incident was reported by the national press this morning. There is no identification of those responsible, but the launching of pyrotechnic devices in the metropolitan area of Porto has been recorded previously.

The players stayed overnight at a hotel in Gaia, having arrived on Tuesday night. Enzo Fernández and António Silva traveled with the team despite recent physical limitations and may be options. Nico Otamendi, who is suspended, also joined the delegation and will watch the match.

FC Porto and Benfica will compete from 8:45 PM for a place in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup.
