Fabrizio Miccoli again felt the affection of Benfica fans last Sunday, when he was honored at Estádio da Luz during the game break against Arouca. The moment was pure emotion for the former Italian striker, who wore the eagle jersey between 2005 and 2007, in a short but striking period for the benfiquists.
In a video now released by the club, it is possible to accompany the backstage of this special visit to Lisbon. It all starts with Miccoli recalling some of the most emblematic moments in the service of Benfica, before being surprised with unexpected visits. The first to appear is Simon Sabrosa, the captain at the time the Italian represented the club. Shortly thereafter, Pedro Mantorras appears, disguised as Chauffeur, who almost deceives Miccoli, but this attentive is not fooled and catches him.
The visit continues with a mandatory stop at the Cosme Damião Museum, where Miccoli revives memories and is thrilled to see his recognized route. At Estádio da Luz, the reunions continue, now with historical figures such as Nuno Gomes, Shéu Han and current President Rui Costa, with whom he shared a resort.
