Ruben Amorim: “We made this bed and we will lie on it”

Despite no longer fighting for the title, the coach emphasized that he only thinks about three points. And he denied that the mid-week break used by some players to attend a Coldplay concert would jeopardize that goal.

“In such a long week, we always take a break. Two days of hard work, you need to rest. The tactical aspect for two days is enough to win the game, Sporting should win every game and it’s no different here,” he explained, adding: “I don’t consider Benfica the favourites, we have a team that can beat Benfica. We have already proved that we can beat any opponent, we play at home. For those who are used to playing to win, and we are, nothing changes. As for the slack, everything is as it is, and we did what we always do. If anything goes wrong, I’ll be here to take responsibility.”
