“If it’s a Benfica to Benfica, we’re going to be champions and win in Alvalade”


Former candidate for the presidency of Benfica is very confident in a victory in the derby with Sporting, at Estádio José Alvalade, and in the consequent conquest of the First League.

“The team had a great response last weekend. All Benfica fans are confident that Benfica will face this game as a final and that they will win in Alvalade. If it’s a Benfica to Benfica, I’m very convinced that we’re going to be champions”, stressed João Noronha Lopes to the press.

The businessman “was waiting for a Benfica that wants to be a champion and that plays to be a champion”, reinforcing his conviction in the celebrations of the 38th title of national champion in the 33rd and penultimate round and calling for the unity and support of all in around the club.

“We are used to the pressure of always having to win. Players, coaches and managers are too. This is part of being Benfica, which is always wanting to win and having to play to win. I am sure that the team will give a good response, following the response it already gave in Portimão”, said João Noronha Lopes.

Regarding the searches carried out by the Tax Authority of Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting, the businessman did not want to make any comments, just as he refused to analyze the work carried out by Rui Costa, president of the club, this season.
