A few days ago, Spanish left-back Grimaldo, who is currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen, was interviewed by Argentina's "TNT Sports". He talked about the impact that Enzo's transfer to Chelsea for 121 million euros in the winter had on the team.
Grimaldo said: "Enzo left in January, which almost caused the team to collapse and caused a huge blow to us. All the operations of the team revolved around him, he was responsible for organizing everything, and his departure caused us heavy losses, especially in the Champions League. We are still a strong team in the league, but the Champions League is a higher level, and Enzo is that A player who can make a difference."
"But this is football. If Chelsea is willing to spend 120 million euros, what can Benfica do?"
In the Champions League that season, Benfica reached the quarter-finals, but was eventually eliminated by Inter Milan: losing 0-2 at home in the first round and 3-3 in the second round at San Siro.
Alejandro Grimaldo and Enzo are Benfica's two best players in the 2022/23 season, which was coach Roger Schmidt's first season coaching Benfica and the last season the team won the Portuguese League Championship.
