Hammer footballer Best Before Champions League duel against Bavaria!

Hamm, Deutschland - The hammer footballer Jan-Niklas Best is about to have an exciting duel! On Wednesday, he meets Bayern Munich with Benfica Lisbon in the Champions League. The 25-year-old winger, who has only been playing for Benfica since this season, has quickly made a name for himself and could cause a sensation in the Allianz Arena.

Best, who ran for 1. FC Heidenheim last season and scored eight goals in 31 games, settled in well in Lisbon. "It all went very quickly, almost overnight," he said about his switch to Benfica. The change came as a surprise for many, also for himself. After a promising conversation with coach Roger Schmidt, who was released shortly after the best arrival, Bruno Lage took over. Despite the challenges, the best has performed strongly in the last games, among other things he scored two goals against Pevidém Sc.

Benfica in the upswing

under LAGES leadership, Benfica has an impressive record: nine of ten competitive games were won. Best fought back after a muscle injury and increasingly shows his class. The fans are enthusiastic about his style of play and already compare him with the former audience favorite Alejandro Grimaldo. "Football is really life for the fans in the city," enthuses the best of the passionate supporters of the club.

But the pressure is enormous! At every home game, around 60,000 spectators flock to the Estádio da Luz, and the best is often recognized, even when shopping. "The pressure is insane," he admits. On Wednesday it will be shown whether he can play against Bayern right from the start. Trainer Bruno Lage remains vague: "There is no stammed melf." But the best has proven that he can meet Bayern - last season he achieved the 2-2 2-2 in Munich. The Benfica fans hope for another magical moment of their new star!
