Rui Costa, president of Benfica, participated in Thinking Football, a League event that takes place in Porto until Saturday, via video call. The leader of the red emblem spoke about the dream of winning the Champions League, saying that in Benfica “nothing can be considered utopia” and that “not to feed the dream would be stupid”.
“Nothing in this club can be considered utopia. We know the difficulties, more and more in the current model it is more difficult to win a Champions League. Just look at the great financial colossus and the difficulty they have had to win the competition”, he began by saying.
“(Manchester) City only managed it last season. Still, not to feed this dream in a club of this size would be stupidity. It’s not impossible for a club of this size”, he concluded.
