Benfica star Nicolas Gaitan waved goodbye to the club's supporters during their Taca da Liga success.

Nicolas Gaitan has confirmed he is on the brink of leaving Benfica after helping the club to win a domestic double.

Benfica was crowned Portuguese champion last week and added the Taca da Liga to its trophy cabinet Friday with a 6-2 victory over Maritimo in the final.

Gaitan, 28, scored his side's fourth goal before waving goodbye to supporters as he was substituted in the closing stages of the final in Coimbra, before he was seen in tears on the bench.
