Benfica boss Jorge Jesus could not resist a swipe at Manchester City.

The Citizens secured Ruben Diaz from Benfica in the past few days, sending Nicholas Otamendi the other way.

Jesus had positive things to say about 23-year-old Diaz, but said the player had not chosen to move to a bigger club, but merely a richer one.

Jesus told reporters: "Ruben is having a send off, not only for what the team has accomplished, but for the game [2-0 win over Moreirense] he's played, too.

"He was the captain, scored a goal so everything was brilliant. His future looks brilliant too, we all believe that.

"The life of a footballer is a bit like this, you're leaving a great club [Benfica], bigger than City, which is only smaller financially.

"And that's what makes the difference, the rest with with you."
