Match3 Apr 2027

A 2-goal lead gone for Benfica

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. AVS kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Benfica will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Amar Dedić: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Benfica have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market5 Apr 2027

Heorhii Sudakov raises the bar for Benfica

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Benfica heard it as anything else.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Benfica

Fredrik Aursnes was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings5 Apr 2027

Fredrik Aursnes runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom5 Apr 2027

Benfica release $9.2M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Loan watch5 Apr 2027

Gustavo Ferreira counts the days

“I watch every Benfica game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Lusitânia Lourosa runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match3 Apr 2027

Benfica and AVS take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad5 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Leandro Barreiro

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match27 Mar 2027

The run at home goes on for Benfica

25 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match24 Mar 2027

Eduardo Fernandes sends Benfica through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Eduardo Fernandes obliged against Estoril Praia. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Benfica.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A one-man rearguard from Samuel Soares

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings29 Mar 2027

Nothing got past Enzo Barrenechea

28 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Market29 Mar 2027

Richard Ríos wants more than Benfica are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Enzo Barrenechea falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings29 Mar 2027

A defender's afternoon for Clément Lenglet

Defensive actions: 20. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings29 Mar 2027

Nobody could get near Tiago Gouveia

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Richard Ríos left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Richard Ríos will call it something else in private.
