The ‘reds’ traveled this Monday morning to Salzburg, where on Tuesday they will play the last day of the group stage of the Champions League.
The suspended António Silva does not appear in the Eagles’ entourage. The center back saw the red card in the match against Inter Milan, also highlighting the absences of the injured Bernat, Bah and David Neres and that they did not continue the trip with the rest of their teammates.
The red group was led by President Rui Costa. In a brief statement to reporters, the Red leader said that he said everything he had to say on Saturday, when he raised the idea of trust and support in Roger Schmidt. The German coach was heavily questioned in the match against Farense, in which the Águilas drew 1-1 at the Estádio da Luz and finished third in the I Liga, behind FC Porto and Sporting.
In European accounts, Benfica occupies the last place in Group D of the Champions League, with only 1 point, and this Tuesday they need to beat Salzburg by two goals if they want to guarantee their presence in the Europa League.
