João Filipe and Florentino in the best XI of the U-19 Euro

João Filipe and Florentino are the two players from Benfica named for the U-19 European Championship team of the tournament that recently took place in Finland and was won by Portugal.

Benfica is one of the most represented clubs and the only one, along with Milan, that puts two players in the team of the tournament.

João Filipe (Jota) was the top scorer of the tournament, with five goals, an award shared with Trincão, and has also bagged four assists in five matches and 384 minutes played.

Florentino racked up 480 minutes, played in five matches and made an assist.

It is worth pointing out that Portugal is the national team with more players in the squad chosen by UEFA: seven (four on the starting XI and three on substitutes' bench).
