Benfica’s Director of International Relations Simao Sabrosa analyzed Group H with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Maccabi Haifa, and confirmed that they still aspire to move to the next stage of the Champions League.

“It’s a high-quality group. We’ll have six interesting matches.

Simao believes the Eagles can have a great season again in the Champions League: “The comfort our players will feel is to maintain the quality they had last season, with a great season we had in the Champions League. They are two completely different games, but Benfica’s goal is always Getting through the group stage. It’s a very difficult group, but we had the greatness of being here in the group stage. Let’s fight it in the best way.”
