The Benfica Foundation and Professional Football made Santiago's dream come true. At the Estádio da Luz, he experienced unforgettable moments with the players and coach Bruno Lage. It was a unique experience, etched in his memory and reflected in his happy smile. For Santiago, it was much more than a game... it was the realization of a dream that will stay in his heart forever.

The Benfica Foundation and Professional Football made Mafalda's dream come true.

The images are magical!

The newly crowned five-time national champions, Benfica's women's football team, were present at the Benfica Official Store at the Estádio da Luz on Tuesday afternoon, April 15. The Inspiradoras interacted with the many fans who lined up - some even waited more than two hours for the session to start - and who didn't waste the opportunity to talk to the protagonists of the historic feat and remember the moment with photographs. From the youngest to the oldest, everyone left satisfied. “Filipa, you're the best coach in the world,” said one Benfica fan.

Benfica drew (2-2) with Arouca on Sunday, April 13, in a match from matchday 29 of the Liga Betclic, played at the Estádio da Luz and marked by controversial refereeing that penalized the Eagles. At half-time there was time to pay tribute to two-time European champion José Augusto (who turned 88), Miccoli (the former player returned to the Cathedral) and the Inspiradoras, who became five-time national champions on Saturday.
