Caroline Möller was the picture of satisfaction on the National Stadium pitch. Clutching the Portuguese Cup trophy, the former Real Madrid Danish international, who settled the derby with two goals, analyzed Benfica's triumph with the pragmatism of someone who understands the moment's significance.
The joy of victory and game management were at the forefront of her analysis. "Obviously, I'm happy. I think at certain points the game was a bit back and forth because we couldn't fully control it. I'm not sure if we were a bit anxious or just content with the 2-0 lead," the forward began.
"However, we started the first half really well, practically dominating possession throughout. I'm very pleased with the final result and this fantastic support," she added.
"Sometimes these finals are a bit tricky, and we have other things on our minds, but I think defensively we did our job," Möller assessed, concluding: "Offensively, we lacked a little something; we couldn't find that final pass, but at 2-0, we're happy."
To close, she offered her thanks: "It feels great to have scored both goals. They were easy goals because my teammates did all the hard work," the Benfica player modestly stated. "I'm very happy to be able to help the team, especially in front of this crowd today."
