    What’s up with Benfica, this team is a far cry from what they were last year.

    This result massively flatters Benfica, it was men against boys apart from 10 minutes at the start of the second half. Merino’s disallowed goal was insanely unlucky and it’s kind of a bullshit rule since the ball was already going in without the handball. Then Brais misses a penalty

    Without any exaggeration, it should have been 5-0 at half time

    I believe la Real should graciously concede first place to us because they allowed Benfica to score against them and that’s unacceptable this year

    So freaking proud of this team, another great performance, the first 30 or so mins in special were so blessed.

    So close to qualifying, I’m gonna be locked to the screen in the Inter match in a few mins.

    It could have been 5-0 in the first 25 minutes. Embarassing from Portugal’s greatest club. Embarassing.

    Real Sociedad are on another level compared to us. Hell, we are like 10 levels below them at the moment.

    This has been a disaterous season. There is no cohesion at all and we’ve spent a record amount of money on complete flops. I don’t understand how the Schmidt doesn’t have the balls to drop players like Rafa or Joao Mario who are incredibly out of form, or why he insists on playing Cabral, Tengsted and Chiquinho all the time.

    Put some youngsters in from the academy. At least they’ll have more fight in them.
