🎥 Satisfaction, pride and ambition!

It was with a handful of goals that the National Champion SL Benfica trounced Sporting CP (5-0), in a derby held at Estádio Algarve. At the end of the match, several players praised justice and merit for the victory in the Super Cup 2019.

"The idea is to improve. It's very important that the boss is with us since the beginning. Last year he arrived in the middle of the season and it's complicated. This year it is clear that the ideas he has conveyed to us from the beginning are very important to everyone and this can be seen in the pitch. I'm very happy here and I want to help Benfica win titles", Grimaldo

"I knew it was going to be difficult to face Sporting, but it was a good match. We've got our feet firmly on the ground and now the focus is on the Championship. I did our work. We dominated in the second half and we were very competent. We respected Sporting very much”, Chiquinho

"You always end up suffering a little more on the outside, on the pitch things are lived in a different way, but I've always been very calm because our group is very strong and has been working very well. Everyone can see the result of that", André Almeida

"We're very happy with the result and since the preseason began our goal has always been the same. Step by step, game by game, we'll always fight to win the national title", Gedson

“We've put in a good display,we were the team that wanted to win the most and we were able to seize our opportunities. It was a very important evening for me and and I'm really glad we won the Super Cup”, Nuno Tavares

“I think we played very well, but also worked hard for that. Throughout the week we analyzed well the strengths and weaknesses of the Sporting, I think it was a good match and we were able to provide a good show to the supporters who were here”, Jota
