We had a record equal to Professor Muniz Pereira’s time with Sporting. After 12 years, we broke that record. I am very proud and grateful. It was not 12 years, but 17 years of struggle and conquest waiting for this moment. It took a lot of work, investment and resilience from Benfica. Benfica and athletics deserve it. Fortunately, Benfica and Sporting also managed to raise the level of athletics, which is what it needs.”
