Dozens of Benfica fans head to Seixal to demand answers from Rui Costa | OneFootball

About 200 supporters of Benfica gathered this Saturday, January 24, at the gates of the Seixal training center, demanding to speak with president Rui Costa or someone from the Board, due to their dissatisfaction with the team's performance this season.

The club officials authorized their entry so that a "meeting" could take place between the parties. Even so, security at the site was reinforced. The police presence coincided with the training session held this morning by the first team.

So far, there have been no reports of incidents or confrontations associated with the gathering. This mobilization comes at a delicate time for the Clube da Luz. Benfica is going through a series of negative results, which has increased the protests.

According to CMTV, there is even a representative of the club who will speak with these supporters. During the week, the Eagles suffered a 2-0 defeat against the Italian side Juventus in Turin, in a decisive match for the Eagles' ambitions in European competitions.

At the moment, Benfica is in third place in the Primeira Liga, 10 points behind leaders Porto. Meanwhile, they have been eliminated from the League Cup (semi-final) and the Portuguese Cup (quarter-finals) and find themselves in a complicated situation in the Champions League.
