Benfica dropped out of the Champions League at the group stage, but they are relieved to still be in Europe after Hapoel Tel-Aviv came to within minutes of knocking out the Portuguese giants. They were leading 2-1 at Lyon until Anthony Lacazette’s late equaliser for the French side, with Benfica losing at home to Schalke.
The Argentine said: “at home we did all right, while away we lacked consistency. It is perhaps why we went out of the Champions League.”
