According to the calculations of a supercomputer, Benfica emerges as the big favorite to win the Europa League. This prediction places the Portuguese club at the top of the probabilities for winning the European title.

In parallel, goalkeeper Vozinha managed to surpass Diogo Costa in the ranking of the ten best goalkeepers in the world. This achievement represents a significant rise in the global hierarchy of specialists in the position.

The article thus addresses two distinct predictions: one regarding Benfica's collective success in the European competition, and another regarding the individual recognition of a Portuguese goalkeeper on the world stage.
