Braga

This season is not going well for the Portuguese. After 18 rounds of the championship, the club has 30 credit points on its balance sheet, which allows it to occupy 5th place in the tournament table. Although the team is only 1 point away from 4th place, the top three teams are already 12 or more points ahead. In the Portuguese Cup, Braga was eliminated by AD Fare in the 1/4 stage, and in the League Cup they were defeated by Vitoria in the final.

In the Europa League, the club’s results are a little more stable; After 6 weeks he has 13 points on the balance sheet, which allows him to take 7th place in the overall competition table. The distance to the leader is only 2 points.

Benfica’s coach José Mourinho He started talking about the Eagles’ Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoly Trubine After his team lost (0:2) in the match against Juventus in the 7th round of the Champions League.

“The team, starting with Trubin, is playing well, attacking, coming out of pressure areas and even coming out beautifully, because I have seen things that really come out aesthetically – of course we implemented it too.

The team has been playing very well lately, from the first base, even from Trubin, who, as you know, was not a very big player in the construction of the game. The team finds a solution, it knows how to get out of defence, it knows how to gain a foothold in the opposition half, it knows how to press the opponent towards the goal,” said Jose.

In the current Champions League, Benfica sit in 29th place with six points after seven matches.
