Tomas Araujo
23-Year-Old
Benfica
Busy defensively
Araujo registered eight tackles (two won), eight clearances and two interceptions in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Bayern Munich.
ANALYSIS
Araujo had everything to do behind the ball during Wednesday's loss, sending the ball forward at every chance just to try and keep a clean sheet. In the end he was unable to keep the clean sheet, but he did pile on the defensive contributions. Araujo will likely not face this level of volume too frequently, even in the Champions League.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea keen on him
Chelsea are interested in signing Araujo, according to Teamtalk.
ANALYSIS
Araujo is expected to be a sought-after player in the January transfer market, and even more in the summer of 2025. One of Benfica's best prospects, the 22-year-old seems ticketed to move to a bigger club before the start of the 2025/26 season. With nearly all the top teams keeping close tabs on his availability, however, his destination remains uncertain.
