Market17 Jul 2028

Patrick Sequeira hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Benfica can pretend not to have heard.

Market17 Jul 2028

Benfica say no — this time

The offer from Gil Vicente for André Gomes was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Dodi Lukébakio signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dodi Lukébakio commits to Benfica for another 4 years.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Benfica

Dodi Lukébakio 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.

Market17 Jul 2028

The Anísio Cabral conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Chaves will make the call about Anísio Cabral this week. Benfica have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad17 Jul 2028

Enzo Barrenechea has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Benfica that is a harder question to answer.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Andreas Schjelderup is carrying Benfica

17 goals and a season average of 7.76. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match19 Feb 2028

Whatever happens, Benfica do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Benfica

Anatolii Trubin 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 ratings21 Feb 2028

A masterclass from Florentino Luís

Marked 9.50 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match19 Feb 2028

Benfica get the job done against Rio Ave

A 2‑1 win over Rio Ave, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

One of those days for Andreas Schjelderup

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.95, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

One of those days for Gianluca Prestianni

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.32, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

The one thing Henrique Araújo could not do

Shots: 11, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Squad21 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Kaiki

“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.

A defender's afternoon for Enzo Barrenechea

Defensive actions: 52. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A one-man rearguard from Anatolii Trubin

There were 7 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.

Andreas Schjelderup is carrying Benfica

14 goals and a season average of 7.64. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match29 Jan 2028

Benfica find a way past Casa Pia

Casa Pia made Benfica work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Nothing got past António Silva

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

A defender's afternoon for Weverson

Defensive actions: 48. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Match12 Jan 2028

Cup progress for Benfica

A 2‑0 win over Gil Vicente, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad17 Jan 2028

A one-man rearguard from Anatolii Trubin

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.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Andreas Schjelderup is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.55 with 12 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Franjo Ivanović in the eights

A performance of 9.29 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The manager makes an example of Rafa

“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.

A masterclass from Tiago Gouveia

Marked 9.01 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
