Sporting's 151-goal striker admits: I'm a Benfica fan | OneFootball

Diana Silva won the national women’s football title, this time in Benfica’s service. The victory in Braga (3-1) confirmed the Reds’ sixth consecutive championship, but for the player, it is an achievement with a different emotional weight because she is a supporter of the club in red.

The Portuguese international also scored one of the goals in the win that sealed the 2025/26 title, and at the end of the match she did not hide her emotional connection: "This title has a special meaning for me because I’m a Benfica supporter and since I was little I dreamed of celebrating with the club I love. I can’t hide it".

The forward made it clear that the final success was even more valuable because of everything the team had to overcome throughout the year: "It is the culmination of a season of ups and downs, it was complicated, we went through a lot, but we achieved our objective, it was worth it".

On an individual level, Diana Silva already has 10 goals and two assists in 20 matches for Benfica, after switching from Sporting to their Lisbon rivals at the start of the season. The move had also been made by other players in the recent past, such as Ana Borges.
