What to do on a rainy humid monday on the Iceberg? If you were not so hungover, you might go trout fishing or, even better you might ake chili and watch the
youth liga final between Casino Salzburg and Benfica. Casino had just beat Atletico madrid 5-0 in the semi, so things looking good for them. Well, except that
Benfica lead 4-0 after about 55 mins and fishing in the rain maybe is not looking like such a bad idea. I hope this U-19s only play 60 minute games.
Quite the impressive way to (kind of - it's not senior football) end the Guttmann curse.
This was Benfica's first win in their twelfth European final. The full list:
- 5x European Cup
1963 1-2 v Milan
1965 0-1 v Inter
1968 1-4 v Manchester United
1988 0-0 5-6 pen v PSV
1990 0-1 v Milan
- 3x UEFA Cup / Europa League
1983 0-1 / 1-1 v Anderlecht
2013 1-2 v Chelsea
2014 0-0 2-4 pen v Sevilla
- 3x UEFA Youth League
2014 0-3 v Barcelona
2017 1-2 v Salzburg
2020 2-3 v Real Madrid
2022 6-0 v Salzburg
Let's see who makes it from this year's Benfica team (e.g. the 2017 one had Jo|uo F|-lix). Henrique Ara||jo looks really good.
As for Salzburg, still a good campaign, with the highlight the 5-0 semifinal win over Atl|-tico. Also, seven Austrians in the starting
line-up, that's not a given for RB and shows their youth program is more than just finding the next gem in Mali or Zambia.
I pin my biggest hopes on Dijon Kameri - hope he doesn't declare for Kosovo, like Su-ii-c did for Croatia. And I'm already
reasonably sure that I won't like Roko +aimi-c, regardless of his undeniable talent. Arrogant prick.
Ciao,
