And we suddenly saw David Luiz jubilant on the edge of the field! At 38 years old, after a few difficult months in Fortaleza, the central defender passed by PSG (2014-2016) made his return to Europe by engaging with the Pafos FC, in Cyprus. The former Brazilian international has not yet made his debut due to a muscle injury, but has seen his new club qualify for the Champions League!
2-1 winner on the Red Star plot of Belgrade last week, Pafos snatched a 1-1 draw synonymous from qualification on Tuesday evening in Limassol, thanks to a superb goal from the Brazilian Jaja in the 89th minute!
PAFOS FC achieves an authentic feat. This club created in 2014 has just been crowned Cyprus champion for the very first time and becomes the third representative of his country to compete in the C1 after Apoel Nicosie and the Anorthosis Famagouste. Four LDC teams will therefore travel to the east island of the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey.
David Luiz against PSG?
David Luiz will try to bring his experience to Pafos while he has 54 games to his credit in the most beautiful European competitions with Benfica, Chelsea and PSG. The old Auriverde with prominent hair raised the cup to the big ears with the Blues in 2012 against Bayern Munich (0-0, Tab: 1-1).
The draw for the first phase of the Champions League on Thursday (6 p.m.), can therefore offer reunion between David Luiz and the Red and Blue, with whom he was twice French champion (2015 and 2016). OM and AS Monaco are the other two hexagonal clubs in the running.
