She is 27-year-old and she arrives at Benfica for what will be her first professional experience outside Brazil. Patrícia Llanos is the 20th new signing of the women's football team, an "ambitious “project that will make its debut in 2018/19.

“For me, it was a big surprise when my agent spoke with me. I feel very happy for having been given this opportunity to wear the Sacred Mantle. They presented me a very good and ambitious project and I accepted immediately”, revealed the Brazilian in statements to BTV.

Born on December 13, 1990, in Diadema, she never played outside her home. The center-midfielder went through clubs such as Juventus de São PauloSantos FCSão BernardoCentro OlímpicoFerroviária - team in which she had a victorious career, with national titles and the 2015 Copa Libertadores. In 2017, on loan from Ferroviária, she played at Corinthians, where she won another Copa Libertadores. 

“I know the magnitude of Benfica because it is a well-known club and I also know I will go down in history for being part of the first women's team. I feel very honored”, she admitted, promising: "We will work hard, and we intend to win all the competitions."

She is strong in the center of the pitch and she considers herself "a quick player, with quick short passes and intelligent passes". Features that led her to be called-up several times to the Brazil national team and that now brought her to Portugal.   

"I ask the players to support us. I am sure we will work a lot and give them many joys."
