Benfica legend Nuno Gomes is one of many people excited to see the Portuguese club take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
“As a Benfica fan, I always want Benfica to win. I know it is difficult but it is not impossible. Bayern is an excellent team, very strong, and when they play at home they will want to control the game from the beginning. Benfica must be strong defensively and try to do their best to prevent Bayern from Scoring early in the game. “Bayern are pressing and defending high. They leave a lot of space behind the defensive line, but they also have strong and experienced defenders. Di Maria is a very intelligent and technically strong player who can make the difference. Pavlidis and Akturkoglu are also very dangerous when given the space to show their qualities.
For Gomez, there will be another pivotal figure in the match, namely Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
“For me, he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and one of the reasons why Bayern are so good. “I hope he is not at his best in the match against Benfica because I think Benfica will create some chances,” Gomez noted. “I am not good at predicting, but I am I would like Benfica to get a good result. I think Bayern are the favourites, but a draw would be a good result for Benfica. I expect the result to be 2-2 because I like to see goals.
