Benfica finished the pre-World Cup part of the season without defeat! Counting the domestic championship, cup, Champions League and qualifiers, the Lisbon Eagles recorded 22 wins and three draws with a goal difference of 67:17!The last victim of Roger Schmidt’s spectacular team this year was the weak Gil Vicente who were escorted off La Luz Stadium with a routine 3-1 winning performance. Despite the upcoming World Cup, the German sent the strongest team on the field last night, and the first scorer of the team, Goncalo Ramos, showed once again why he is the talk of the town. The guy who fought for a place on the list of the national team coach Fernando Santos scored two goals in last night’s win, and the scorer of the third goal was also part of the national team – Joao Mario scored from the penalty spot.##NAJAVA_MECA_6806725##Ramos is one of the revelations of the season in European football. In total, he scored 14 goals in 20 games this season. He made the most of the chance and the space that opened up for him with the departure of Darwin Nunez to Liverpool. Although there was skepticism as to how Benfica would compensate for the departure of the Uruguayan and his goals, the solution was ‘in the house’ already.Ramos is Benfica’s child, he entered the first team four seasons ago but was given a chance on a spoonful. Now the opportunity presented itself and he seized it. He could also be the Portuguese wildcard in Qatar because Santos only has Cristiano Ronaldo and Andre Silva in the center-forward position.The revelation of 2022: From a reserve in the B team to the World Cup and a 100 million-euros price tag in six monthsHe travels to Qatar in top form and Benfica closed 2022 in a miraculous way.
