Benfica won a group involving Manchester United, and go into tonight’s game as favourites after an impressive run at home and in Europe as their English opponents struggle on.
“That’s a sign that we’ve played well throughout the competition, and that we’re working well,” Jesus said.
“The further we go in the competition, the stronger our opponents will be. So we’ll have to work even harder to get through.
“But you have to remember that Benfica and Sporting Lisbon eliminated Manchester United and Manchester City, the two top teams in England, from Europe.”
