Nuno Catarino, Vice-President of the Board of Directors of Benfica's SAD, criticized the project to centralize television rights in Portugal. Catarino considered this project to be "inadequate" and warned about the consequences that this measure could have for Portuguese football.
As an example, the Benfica executive pointed to the Juventus-Milan match, one of the biggest classics in Italian football. According to Catarino, in this match "there was only one player of level," suggesting that the centralization of television rights in Italy has contributed to a decline in sporting quality.
Nuno Catarino's position arises within the context of the debate on the distribution model of TV rights in Portuguese football. The Benfica official defends that centralization is not the adequate solution for the national football landscape.
