According to what a journalist from the Portuguese daily newspaper said registerBenfica does not have the level required to win the European League this year. This is perhaps the only reassuring thing for Marseille before going to challenge the Portuguese club on the ground on Thursday evening.
Journalist Nuno Martins from the Portuguese sports daily register He gives his opinion on Benfica Lisbon's level this season. According to him, the Eagles have no chance of winning the Europa League because the team has a lot of shortcomings: » If it had beaten Sporting, Benfica would have had one last chance to continue its dream of winning the championship, after losing the League Cup and exiting from the Portuguese Cup semi-finals a few days ago. So the Europa League remains, but as much as Benfica fans dream about it, I don't think it's realistic. Benfica started the season well by winning the Super Cup. But the level on display was never the same as last year, when Roger Schmidt surprised Portugal with his attacking and pressing football. The departure of Grimaldo and Gonzalo Ramos was not compensated well and the coach failed to find a starting team. ” says the journalist.
Perhaps this speech is the only reassuring thing for the Marseille club, which is suffering from a bad situation in the tournament after its dry defeat in Lille (3-1). The Olympians will have to show a more conquering face if they want to hope to achieve a result against the current Portuguese champions.
