Benfica midfielder Joao Mario celebrated his 2-1 win against Juventus on social media.
The Portuguese team visited Juve as underdogs, and they could have been happy to pick up a point from the game.
However, they fought hard and enjoyed attacking the Bianconeri, which paid off for them.
In the end, they won the game 2-1 to stay in a comfortable position in their group.
When the group draw was made, fans expected PSG and Juve to qualify as the top two teams.
However, Benfica are defending themselves, and the victory against the Bianconeri was a great statement on their part.
After the win, Mario used his Twitter account to post a picture of himself from the match.
He captioned it: “Great win and pride in what we’re doing. The walk is long and we continue together”.
Juve FC says
Beating Juventus at the Allianz Stadium is a big deal, and Benfica know they have secured a solid win with that result.
They should celebrate knowing that Juve can beat them backhandedly, but at the moment they have a healthy advantage over the Bianconeri.
We must respond to this setback by winning our next two games against Maccabi Haifa if we want to qualify for the next round.
