Wolves loanee Hugo Bueno showcased his talent on the grand stage of the Champions League while donning the Feyenoord jersey on Wednesday night. The left-back, who made the move from Molineux to the Eredivisie club on a temporary basis for the season, fulfilled his dream of competing in Europe’s elite club competition as he came up against his former Wolves manager, Bruno Lage. The evening ended on a high note for Bueno as Feyenoord pulled off a remarkable 3-1 victory against Benfica in Portugal, marking Lage’s first defeat since taking charge of the club in September.
In what was a thrilling encounter, Bueno played a pivotal role in Feyenoord’s triumph, putting in an impressive display both going forward and in defensive duties during his 88 minutes on the field. Dutch media offered differing perspectives on Bueno’s performance, with some outlets praising his stress-resistant demeanor and composure on the ball, while others noted a few instances of difficulty and lost possession.
Despite the mixed reviews, it was evident that Bueno’s contribution was crucial to Feyenoord’s success, with several media sources awarding him positive ratings. Post-match, Bueno took to social media to share a photo commemorating the memorable win, showcasing his enjoyment of the loan spell at Feyenoord. As he continues to excel in European competition, Bueno’s achievements are sure to benefit Wolves upon his return to the West Midlands in the summer, prompting speculation on how Wolves’ coaching staff, including Gary O’Neil, will assess his performance and potential future opportunities at Molineux. Fans eagerly anticipate Bueno’s further development and contributions to the team as his loan spell progresses.
