Match9 Aug 2027

Benfica are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 74 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tomás Soares breaks a bone — 20 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market9 Aug 2027

Richard Ríos wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Words at Benfica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andreas Schjelderup is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Benfica lose Rafael Obrador

35 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Anísio Cabral in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Benfica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Benfica have new owners

The sale went through, the money came with it, and everything anybody had planned for next season is now provisional. New owners always arrive promising patience.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Tomás Soares breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Clément Lenglet in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Benfica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Real improvement from Anísio Cabral at Benfica

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Anísio Cabral is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market2 Aug 2027

João Rego attracts admirers

The name of João Rego has come up in conversations Benfica were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Nilson Semedo out for 34 days

The medical room confirms 34 days on the sidelines for Nilson Semedo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match16 Jan 2027

Still nobody has beaten Benfica

The unbeaten run reaches 16. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match13 Jan 2027

Benfica through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Vizela, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match13 Jan 2027

Tomás Soares wins it after the whistle should have gone

95 minutes played. Tomás Soares found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Vizela went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Nuno Félix was immovable

30 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Anatolii Trubin keeps Benfica in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Gianluca Prestianni, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.25

A mark of 8.25 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market18 Jan 2027

Benfica say no — this time

The offer from Boavista for Samuel Dahl 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.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near João Rego

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Andreas Schjelderup is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.52 with 11 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.
