Florentino Luís’ protagonism in the Portuguese championship was great, thanks to the good form of the whole team, but it is the Champions League phase that put Florentino (and others) in the notebooks of European clubs. The midfielder was a starter in all matches, in qualifying and in the group stage, playing a fundamental role in the results obtained, especially in the matches against the French PSG (1-1 and 1-1) and the Italian Juventus (2 – 1 and 4-3) and which allowed the eagles to qualify at the top of a very difficult group. And even in this competition, the 23-year-old Portuguese midfielder has an impressive record.
He is the second player who ran the most in all group stage matches, 73 kilometers covered (30.1 km/h at top speed), behind only Frankfurt’s Swiss midfielder Djibril Sow, who ran 74 kilometers ( 31.3 km/h). He is the 13th with the most steals, 38 (the first is Nicolás Otamendi, with 46; and the 12th António Silva, with 39), the fourth with the most tackles made (18) and Benfica’s second with most passing accuracy (91.2%, behind Otamendi’s 92.8%). Impossible, therefore, not to notice Florentino.
