Benfica beat Sporting on penalties and won the Portuguese League Cup

Angel Di Maria y Nicolas Otamenditwo emblems of the National Team Lionel Scalonithey continue with the green wave and do not tire of doing Olympic laps. This Saturday, Video y Ota champions of the Portuguese League Cup con Benfica and they added one more star to their very successful careers to establish themselves in the Olympus of the most successful Argentine soccer players of all time. The joy came after his team will beat him 7-6 in the round from penalties to Sporting Lisbon after a pale 1-1 in the 90 minutes of the duel played at the Municipal stadium of Leiria. The two played the entire match and, to complete the combo, they hit both of their shots in the definition that had the Ukrainian goalkeeper as the hero. Anatoli Trubin.

With this consecration in the third most important tournament in Portuguese lands -behind the league and the Cup-, Di María won his 36th title as a professional and remained as a comfortable escort of Lionel Messiwho with 45 Olympic laps is not only the most successful Argentine in history, but also the winningest soccer player of all time.

The man from Rosario, who has already retired as an international player – are the rumors true that his Scaloneta teammates want to convince him to return? It is a kind of talisman. With this Portuguese League Cup he reached five trophies with Benfica.

We must add to them the 19 that he collected during his profitable time at Paris Saint-Germain, the six that he accumulated with Real Madrid and the other six that he achieved with the National Team (four with the Major, one with the U-20 and another with the U-23 at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games). The 2017/2018 French Super Cup is not counted, given that he was not called up beyond the fact that at that time he was part of the PSG squad. Sure, it could be 37. An animal.

Not far behind is Otamendi, who was in charge of raising the trophy and reached 26 consecrations. In addition to Messi and Di María, the defender is surpassed Luis Gonzalez (31), Carlos Tevez (30) y Franco Armani (27) and just surpassed the line Javier Mascherano, Esteban Cambiasso y Alfredo Di Stefanowhich collected 25. He is the Argentine defender with the most titles in history. Awesome.

Does the breakdown of the display case Ota? He has nine with Porto, another nine with Manchester City, four with the Argentine National Team – the golden poker of the Scaloneta -, three with Benfica and one with Vélez. Be careful, this Saturday there were two other Argentines who celebrated in Leira: they are Benjamin Rollheiser -Is he in Boca’s sights?’- and Gianluca Prestianniwho this Saturday did not even occupy a place on the bench of substitutes that the DT put together Bruno Lage.

The match? It was more boring. The Norwegian opened the scoring Andreas Schjjelderup with a very good individual maneuver after a pass from Di María at 29 minutes of the first half and the infallible Swede equaled it Viktor Gyökeresfrom a penalty, before the break. Then no differences were made. All the players got their shots right, including Di María – he kicked the first – and Otamendi – he took the third -, until the huge Trubin, 1.99 meters tall, contained the weak cross left-footed shot by the former Barcelona Francisco Trincao.
