Ex-Shakhtar player David Neres will come out from the first minutes
Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk will start the first match Benfica against Midtjylland in the third qualifying round of the Champions League from the bench.
It should be noted that from the first minutes the former Shakhtar winger David Neres will join the Portuguese club. In June, the Pitmen received 14 million euros for the sale of the player, and Neres himself signed a five-year contract with Benfica.
Yaremchuk, 26, made 43 appearances for Benfica in all competitions last season. The Ukrainian scored nine goals and scored six assists.
The first match against Midtjylland will be held by Benfica today, August 2. The meeting starts at 22:00 Kyiv time. The return match will take place on 9 August.
The winner of the confrontation Benfica – Midtjylland can play with Dynamo Kyiv in the final round of the playoffs of the Champions League qualification. To do this, the people of Kiev need to go through the Austrian Storm.
The play-off matches of the Champions League qualifying round will be held on 16/17 and 23/24 August.
