Gaitán on the magic of playing for Benfica again: I had the privilege... | OneFootball

Argentine Nico Gaitán, 38, put on the Benfica shirt again — a club he represented between 2010/11 and 2015/16, winning three league titles, two Portuguese Cups, one Super Cup and five League Cups — to face Borussia Dortmund’s legends. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, and the former attacking midfielder was delighted.

"Yesterday [Wednesday] I had the privilege of wearing the Benfica shirt once again to face Dortmund. It was very good to see old friends and remember great times from the past! Playing with them again was a pleasure for me. Being able to walk onto the pitch with my son and having my wife and our children in the stands was magical for me," said the Argentine.

"Thank you very much to the Benfica fans for the affection shown by the supporters who were at the stadium to support us. Thank you to those who were at the stadium, thank you to those who supported us on television, and thank you to all Benfica fans," he added.
