Unfair result, but they dignified the jersey until the end!

The morning after the match in which they beat Juventus, in Nyon, and secured the presence in the final of the UEFA Youth League 2021/22, Benfica's team started the recovery and preparation for the final of the competition, to be played against Salzburg at 5:00 pm on Monday, April 25, at the Sports Center in Colovray, Switzerland. Henrique Araújo joined the working group and trained this Saturday, April 23. The forward's call-up stems from the fact that Samuel Soares' red card in the semi-final match opened a vacancy for a player over 19 years of age.

In Switzerland, with the stands of the pitch at the Colovray Sports Center painted red and white, Benfica beat Juventus on the penalty shootout and qualified for the UEFA Youth League for the fourth time, where on Monday, April 25, they will face Salzburg (Austria).

Benfica held the first training session on Swiss soil before facing Juventus at 1 pm on Friday, April 22, at the Colovray Stadium in Nyon in a UEFA Youth League semi-final match. The men under Luís Castro harpened the last strategic lines for the clash with the Italians with a favorable historical ballast, since Benfica in the three times it reached this stage always went on to the final, which it never won. Eliminating Juventus, Benfica will face the winner of Atletico Madrid-Salzburg on Monday, April 25, at 5:00 pm.
