Benfica Appreciation Thread

[Robespierre]

GOAT club
In Europa League final for 2 years in a row.
Beautiful football , great players , amazing fans , capable to resist even in Juve Stadium's helltown
They would walk in Serie A.
I hope they can brake the Glutmann' s curse and finally winning another European cup , it would be deserved

Respect to Benfica. A team with real European pedigree doing a professional job.

They play good football as well. Iberia

Nobody ***** with the Jesus

[celikmilan]

It will be tough without Markovic, Perez, Salvio and maybe Garay after that Pogba almost killed him.

Many if not all of you cried that PSG had such an easy group with Benfica and Olympiakos.... let me tell you something about these 2 teams. They're always a nightmare to play at their home (every season) AND they defend very well away. Never easy. Not elite... but never, ever easy.

Agreed. TBH I didn't understand how they got knocked out in CL . But it's better so , EL is his dimension . They are a little Barcelona in these years

p.s. welcome back sports

Thanks. Olympiakos took it on GD i think and managed to get a draw away at Benfica. Didn't miss 2nd place by much. Very similar team to Olympiakos.

The last final they lost I think Cardozo almost beat up their manager Jesus IIRC?   They were so unlucky, they came second in everything   But theyve been very good for a few seasons now and fully deserves to win it if they do. 

[futbol]

I won't lie, when we played them in the CL group stages last season they played very well and posed some serious threat in both legs. Just couldn't finish to save their lives, it was unreal. But their football overall was fluid and expansive. So I will appreciate them.

[M99]

Call up Lima Scolari.

[BusterLfc]

They deserve 4 trophies this season after the last one, lost 3 trophies in the dying moments of those 3 games. (EL vs Chelsea, Cup final vs Guimaraes, match vs Porto in the league that decided the champion)

[Lord Awesome]

Simply put Benfica are a big club. Same with the Greek teams when they play well.
