Photographing a UEFA Champions League Football Match


I used two cameras, one A9 III, that Sony borrowed to me due to A7 IV problem, and one A7 V, The A9 III with the 300mm attached and the A7 V with a 70-200mm, all Sony lenses.

Match was not so spectacular in terms of photos, in my opinion, and will be remembered for the accusation of racism that Vinicius Junior, number 7 of Real Madrid CF, made on Gianluca Prestianni, number 25 of SL Benfica.

I photographed always in manual mode and took more than 10k photos (that's too many) and it ended up around 150 photos sent to the national and international press.

It was good that it did not rain this time, like previous match against Real Madrid (it was terrible) but we only have one goal this time, and what a goal also, like the last one from previous match (Trubin scored in the last minute).

Looking forward to photograph next UEFA Champions League football match.
