Marcos Leonardo to face Rangers with Benfica
Marcos Leonardo, who joined Benfica in January, is one of the forwards Rangers will have to watch out for.
He has already scored four goals for the Liga Portugal leaders.
The Brazilian joins a group of talented attackers at the Estadio de Luz that includes Angel di Maria, Rafa,
Joao Mario, Arthur Cabral, David Neres, and Casper Tengstedt.
Rangers’ forward line may have shown off over the weekend, but they won’t be afraid of anyone as they
try to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals.
The Ibrox team faces still another obstacle in the form of Marco Leonardo, whose high price and media attention
provide an additional advantage.
Coming off the bench in the decisive 2-1 home win over Toulouse, this showing in Portugal remains Leonardo’s only appearance in the
Europa League with a Round of 16 tie against Rangers on the horizon.

Benfica is by no means unbeatable, even though Philippe Clement himself admits that Rangers are the
“underdogs” in this Europa League matchup.
Rangers may be feeling confident about their prospects against the Portuguese after losing to Real Sociedad and
Inter Milan in a Champions League group.
The Ibrox team has been inspired by Philippe Clement’s never-say-die mentality and by their run to the 2022 Europa League Final in
Seville, as well as their victory over Real Betis.
Whether Marcos Leonardo plays or not, Rangers won’t be intimidated by Benfica’s visit in a thrilling
Europa League match that might go either way.
