Thanks to the advantage it scored in the first leg following two penalty kicks from Angel Di Maria, Benfica Lisbon settled for a 0-0 draw this evening, Thursday, in Toulouse, to continue its campaign in the European League.
Hop on to the official Benfica Lisbon account in the comments section or even a simple search by entering the word “vergonha” (shame in French) and it seems that the opinion of Portuguese fans is finally the same after Benfica's draw against TFC on Thursday evening (0-0). Thanks to this result, the Lisbonian team qualified for the round of 16 of the Europa League after the result recorded in the first leg (2-1), but it was the position of the “red and white” that angered Benquist. .

While a win or a draw was synonymous with qualification, and a defeat by one goal would have led to extra time, coach Roger Schmidt's players performed very poorly, especially in the second half, where they only shot three times, preferring to shoot at goal. They maintained this goalless draw which was profitable for them. In total, Benfica only had one shot on target.

One netizen wrote: “Congratulations, you have managed to embarrass all the people of Beneviquet. Roger Schmidt, with his team, should have a team that plays three times more.” Another adds: “Victory tastes like defeat. Shame on you.” “There is nothing to celebrate. It is a shame” We can also read/translate it. A French-Portuguese message wrote: “During the two matches, qualifying for the round of 16 of the Europa League was a small miracle,” before adding: “Well done, Toulouse. Really.”
