Jorge Jesus confessed that he was “devastated” by the goal that Haris Seferovic wasted the day before yesterday in the 90+4 minute of the 0-0 draw in Barcelona, but even more was the Swiss striker Benfica, who, yesterday, the day after the match that could have been a direct qualifying for the Champions Round of 16 (in case of victory), was still emotionally very affected.
Immediately after the game, in the Reds’ locker room, Seferovic did not make any formal apology, although the player tried to do penance with some teammates. However, Benfica’s players quickly sought to make the Swiss see and feel that the flagrant missed opportunity – despite having been truly incredible and having a major sporting and financial impact – was nothing more than a game of football and that he had the support of the entire squad at this time.
After a few seconds of disbelief, that support from the team began to make itself felt even on the pitch.
