Philippe Clement reveals £120m Rangers detail he read in newspaper after draw v Benfica

The Belgian revealed in an interview with TNT Sports that the tabloid had stated the home team was worth £120 million more than his Gers players, following their 2-2 draw with the Primeira Liga winners.

The Light Blues put themselves in a great position to secure a spot in the Europa League quarterfinals going into the second leg at Ibrox on March 14. He continued by saying that he couldn’t ask for more than what the team demonstrated in the Portuguese city.

Clement remarked, “Big challenge, you’ve seen the quality that they have.” “We know it’s a big task, but I can’t ask for more than what my players gave me today,” the player said, referring to a newspaper article that stated their transfer value was £120 million higher than ours.

Against Benfica, Rangers players demonstrated their worth.

The Rangers players can be proud of their effort as they earned a draw against Benfica, but it was never going to be an easy challenge for them traveling to Lisbon.

The hosts had never lost in the Europa League at The Estadio da Luz previously, and the Gers came dangerously close to shattering that record before an own goal from Connor Goldson made sure the match finished evenly.

The Portuguese team displayed glimmers of their potential that evening, but Clement’s team held their own and didn’t appear to be behind their rivals in any manner.

Next week, the two teams will square off again at Ibrox, and Light Blues supporters will be optimistic that their club can win and go to the competition’s quarterfinals.

However, Clement will immediately return his attention to domestic competition as his team prepares for a crucial match on Sunday, March 10, against Hibernian in the Scottish Cup quarterfinals.
