Dahl slams Vinícius Jr's celebration in Benfica v Real Madrid: "It was a bit..." | OneFootball

After the final whistle of the Benfica - Real Madrid (0-1) match, Samuel Dahl expressed his opinion regarding thePrestianni - Vinícius Jr. incident, arguing that the Brazilian forward’s goal celebration was provocative not only towards the squad but also towards the Benfica fans.

"I wasn’t there, I didn’t hear anything, he scored a good goal, but then he was a bit disrespectful towards the Benfiquistas and us," began the number 26 for Benfica, in statements to Sport TV, referring to the attitude of the Brazilian international forward.

Additionally, the Swedish full-back emphasized that it was "difficult to respond," since the previous match against the Merengues ended in a completely different way. "We played against a very good team. Maybe we could have pushed ourselves a bit more in the other game. Now [in the play-off], there are two matches," he underlined.

"We wanted a better result, but we’re still alive and we’re going to fight for qualification in the next match. It’s 1-0 and there are 90 minutes left. We scored four in the previous game. Of course, qualification is possible," added Samuel Dahl.

In conclusion, the Benfica full-back mentioned the duels, in terms of tactics, with Vinícius and Mbappé: "They are top players, it’s very difficult to play against them, we always have to be on alert. But it was good. I like to compete with the best."
