Exclusive images shown by the NOW television station reveal that the pitch at a stadium did not present adequate conditions for sporting practice. Pedro Sousa was one of the voices that publicly criticized the situation, stating that the League should be ashamed of the state of the playing surface.

The commentator and former tennis player highlighted that Benfica has knowledge of this situation, suggesting that the club was aware of the pitch deficiencies before the event in question took place.

The NOW broadcast sought to highlight the consequences these conditions can have for players, both in terms of performance and risk of injury.

The article does not specify which competition or match these images were captured at, nor does it indicate what measures were taken after the complaint.
