I think it was about playing time. He had a lackluster loan spell in Spain at Granada tbf. His evolution at Benfica has been outstanding.

Leverkusen take lead against ten men Atletico.
Leverkusen are out-shithousing Atletico and I love it
Is the Barca Benfica game on Irish TV anywhere?
The way it is going there could be some big teams having to go through that extra round of games.
Its on Virgin More apparently
Probably PSR being a key factor, as well.
It's on TNT. The only game on non-subscription channels in Ireland is Leverkusen/Atletico.
Barcelona defense is comically bad. How they let a donkey like Pavlidis score a hattrick? From laughing stock in our league to scoring a hattrick in the CL.
Its not unlikely that PSG or City will be eliminated completely as they play each other tomorrow.
PSGs last game is in Stuttgart which certainly will be no easy win for them.
Definitely won't go out at this stage, but the position they are both in and same with the likes of Real and Juventus, you are relying on the teams above you slipping up enough to get into the Top 8, nobody really wants those extra games, but I suppose it is a second chance.
That's an insane red card decision for PSV.
That was incredibly harsh.
Atletico now level. Alvarez. Leverkusen we on the attack at the time.
Great goal from Atlético. Perfect pass from Griezmann and Alvarez did a lot of work to score there.
Tah comprehensively shitting the bed.
This game is really tetchy.
Lille down to 10 men, stupid foul from Mandi to get a deserved 2nd yellow there
Lille equalise 1-1
1-1 David with the goal. Canada's own.
Lille level at Anfield despite being down to ten men.
feck off.
See ya later
See ya later
What a clown show this Benfica vs Barcelona match. I'm watching this with the Benny hill song on
What a ridiculous goal for Barcelona 
What the hell. How did that happen.
fantastic 30 yard header from raphina, unstoppable
That Barca goal is the funniest I've seen yet.
Liverpool with the most Liverpool goal you’ll see (until they next play).
4-2. Benfica.
Benfica score again 
OG at Benfica vs Barcelona. My Sunday footy has better defending than this.
Impressive, considering they were leading 3-2
Incredible how 10 men Atletico are dominating Leverkusen since the goal.
Barcelona and Benfica having a shittest goal competition
4-2
4-2
Bologna level v. Dortmund. 1-1.
2-1 Bologna
Liverpool back in front 2-1
Correction Dortmund bottling losing 2-1 now. Typical Dortmund
Think their second goal shocked me that much.
