At the beginning of this month, Benfica qualified for the eighth finals of the Champions League, where Ajax will look in their eyes.
He survived a set with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, but for the rest of December it wasn’t much.
Benfica is four points behind La Liga leaders Porto and Sporting, and defeats against the two opponents in particular remain.
In the competition he lost to his rival Sporting, in the cup he did not lose any chance in Porto.
But things have gone downhill a lot at the Portuguese club in recent days. T1 Jorge Jesus has been linked with a return to the former Flamengo club and the group of players will never get along.
Jesus reportedly got into a fight with Portugal international superstar Pizzi, but the heavyweight received support from most of the dressing rooms.
Benfica, who will face Porto in the Portuguese league on Thursday, are trying to put out the fire by sending Jesus off. He actually worked there between 2009 and 2015.
After a pass with rival Sporting, he made a splash in Brazil at Flamengo, starting his second spell at Benfica in July 2020. The day ended.
