Portuguese center forward Gonçalo Ramos It will be one of the biggest threats for the Real Madrid team that Raúl González Blanco trains in the Youth League final that will be played tomorrow between Benfica and Real Madrid in Nyon.
It is about a young man who was trained in the Olhanense quarry (Algarve) and who came to Benfica in 2011. During the last year his scoring record has been precipitated, as he was the top scorer of the European Under-19 Championship in Armenia, which Spain won in the final against Portugal in July 2019.
In addition, last July he debuted with the first team of the Benfica in the League and in three minutes (he came out in 85) he scored two goals. He is an excellent second striker, with a lot of goal and that Benfica has decided to tie until 2024, as he is on the 2020 Golden Boy candidate list.
In this edition of the Youth League, the “Algarvian” has scored 6 goals in 8 games and has been a key element for Benfica to achieve their third final since this competition was established in 2014.
It is not the first time Benfica and Real Madrid faces are seen in this competition. In 2014, Benfica, which then had as its star Gonçalo Guedes, eliminated a Real Madrid in the semifinals where they played Enzo Zidane or Marcos Llorente. The Portuguese won 4-0. That year, the incarnated reached the final, where they lost against a FC Barcelona in which they shone Traoré or Munir.
The Portuguese quarry of Seixal again crossed with the Real Madrid in the semifinals of 2017. Then, the star of the incarnated was already João Félix, surrounded by an entourage of players who today already play at the first level, as a sought-after midfielder Florentine (Benfica), the Portuguese international center-back Ruben Dias or the Tottenham winger Gedson. They beat Madrid of the Uruguayan 4-2 Fede Valverde, although again the eagles fell again in the final.
The two youth quarries will meet again in the Youth Champions League tomorrow Tuesday with a Benfica in which other footballers such as Umaro Embaló, which they compare with Angel Di Maria for his ability to dribble and speed.
Umaro Embaló He is the great friend of the Barcelona player Ansu Fati, is a year older than him, the two are from Guinea Bissau and share a similar offensive style of play. Embaló, who has made his debut with the lower teams in Portugal, has already dazzled in the Youth League since the 2018 edition, when he was 16 years old and was in the sights of clubs such as FC Barcelona itself or Manchester United.
At the rear of Benfica, the most powerful is the 19-year-old Brazilian left-hander Morato, who arrived last year in Portugal, as he was acquired by the incarnate club after paying 7 million euros.
At the core, the control of the game will passr Tiago Dantas, a 19-year-old footballer who already made his debut with the Benfica first team last season in a League Cup match and who has been training at the Portuguese club since he was 4 years old. He stands out for his vision of the game. Benfica has the chance to win their first Youth League ahead, after two unsuccessful attempts, although, once again, they have once again shown their potential to train young footballers.
