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