Benfica achieved a stunning victory in Monaco last night on the occasion of the 5th day of the Champions League. Trailing twice, the Portuguese were able to take advantage of Singo’s sending off to come back into the game each time and even win 3-2 in the final minutes.
Angel Di Maria proved to be an executioner for the Asemistes since his two crosses on the line allowed his team to make the difference. On this occasion, he became the 2nd best passer in the history of the C1, behind Cristiano Ronaldo. With this success and a 14th place, Benfica is back in the race for qualification.
A round of 16 or 8 that PSG is not at all certain to see. That’s football, that’s how it is. “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t,” Di Maria said on Canal+ after the evening’s match. Asked about the situation of PSG, the Argentine assures that his former team must trust in time.
“Paris has a lot of young players. They have to grow. Before, there were a lot of stars like Kylian, Neymar, Ibra, Cavani. They have young players like Joao Neves who played at Benfica last year. They have young players who have to grow. Sometimes it is good to have more experienced and older players, but Paris needs time” he said.
