About SL Benfica

SL Benfica are a Portuguese football club who feature in the Primeira Liga. They are one of the most successful clubs in Portugal, winning the domestic title 37 times, as well as the European Cup on two occasions. Benfica, also known as the Aguias, have established rivalries with Porto and Sporting CP, with their match against the former known as O Classico. Historically, their most famous and celebrated players are Eusebio, Manuel Bento, Costa Pereira, Mario Coluna, Rui Costa, Luisao, Antonio Simoes, Nuno Gomes, and Nene. Their most famous manager is Bela Guttmann, who took the club to two European Cups. After being denied a pay rise, he left the club and claimed their would never again win in Europe. They didn’t, and so the ‘Guttmann Curse’ was born. Their home since 2003 has been the Estadio da Luz, which has a capacity of over 64,000 spectators, and hosted the 2014 Champions League final.
