Meanwhile, Benfica’s attacking options, with Roger Schmidt steering the side, have been bolstered by Angel Di Maria and Rafa Silva, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Di Maria has emerged as Benfica’s leading scorer in UEFA Europa League this season, netting three goals, and continues to shine as their top assist provider, with one goal-creating pass this term.
