“Being the player in the current squad with the most games and goals in the new cathedral is obviously a mark and an important number for me. It is a sign that I was very present in several victories of our club in our great Stadium. I had no idea about that, a player doesn’t count that kind of thing, but it’s an important record. Throughout the years, the great scorers we have had have gone to other clubs and of course at this moment I am one of the oldest in the squad and I am aware that I am one of the most goalscorer in the Estádio da Light. For me, it is a brand. very important. It means that I helped Benfica win victories and titles, ”Pizzi said on the club’s website.
The player remembered his first goal for Benfica.
«The first game I played was against Arouca [7.ª jornada da Liga portuguesa de 2014/15] and the first goal, curiously, was also against Arouca, but for the League Cup [em 2014/15]. They were very important moments. I had just arrived at Benfica and I was 24 years old … I was evolving in my career and I began to feel like a player with a certain maturity. It was an important moment and, curiously, it was also with the artist Jorge Jesús. It was very important to make my debut in the best way. I remember it was a beautiful victory over Arouca, and then the first penalty goal in the League Cup was also important. It helped us win that trophy later. “
