Well placed to win the national title, Benfica moves Thursday night in the first leg of the semi-final of the Europa League confront Fenerbahçe.

A European Cup semi-final is never easy to negotiate. The Turks dream of writing one of the most beautiful pages of its history. A task complicated but not impossible. Moussa Sow will now face the Portuguese. Back from injury, the Senegalese should lead the attack of Fenerbahce. Very efficient with the Istanbul club, the Lion of the Terenga nevertheless scored 18 goals this season.
“The fans like me, encourage me in the street, it’s nice. Istanbul is beautiful cities less stressful than you think, “he explained late September. “You must come and see the atmosphere. This is impressive, something crazy, “he asserted.

Benfica, which beat Newcastle in the quarterfinals (3-1 and 1-1), should be wary of the Turks who have nothing to lose and who can rely on their striker Moussa Sow.
Cup winner in Turkey upon his arrival, the Senegalese international striker has only two games before playing if possible the final of the Europa League. Having suffered from a muscle tear at the end of the first leg of the quarter against Lazio (2-0, April 4), the 27-year-old had missed three games including the second leg (1-1). But Sow is better and replayed the last weekend on the stadium of Gençlerbirligi (0-2).
