Vata no Visão Vermelha: "Já passaram 36 anos. Eu não posso dizer uma coisa que nunca fiz.”

There are players who pass through Benfica. And there are players who remain forever in the club's history. In this episode of Visão Vermelha, we welcome Vata, the striker who arrived at Benfica in 1988 from Varzim and quickly made his mark: he was the league's top scorer in his first season, won two national championships, a Super Cup, scored 37 goals in three seasons, and starred in one of the most memorable moments in Benfica's European history. We naturally talk about the goal against Marseille in 1990, which put Benfica in the final of the European Cup. A play that continues to be discussed 36 years later… and to which Vata responds directly in this interview. But this conversation goes far beyond that moment. In this exclusive interview, Vata recalls: 🔴 Arriving at Benfica as the fifth option for the attack 🔴 Eusébio's support during the most difficult moments 🔴 The confidence of Eriksson and Toni 🔴 The unique atmosphere of the old Estádio da Luz with 120,000 fans 🔴 The locker room with Mozer, Valdo, Paneira, Shéu, Magnusson and Pacheco 🔴 Winning the Silver Ball without taking penalties 🔴 Behind the scenes of the semi-final against Marseille 🔴 And the truth about the most controversial goal in Benfica's European history A conversation full of memories, behind-the-scenes stories and Benfica mystique with a player who will forever be linked to one of the club's most memorable nights.
