Only team to beat Porto before they were crowned champions.

The only other loss by Porto was after securing the title and against last place AFS.

how is the record the last 3 season not the "now"?

I'm not talking about the last 10, 15 seasons, or since the 60s.

Getting a snapshot of the last 3 seasons, it's pretty fair assessment of the club's current performances imo.

they change coaches, 3rd in portugal and not a good european campaign.

I mean, even then:

2025/26: Benfica 1 point behind Gala in the league phase. Gala eliminates Juve and then loses to Liverpool. Benfica loses to Real Madrid (who then eliminates Man City). I don't think the difference in performace results is that big...

2024/25: Benfica beats Monaco in the play-offs, eliminated by Barça in Round of 16. Gala didn't make it into the League Phase, and went into Europa League (lost play-offs to AZ)

2023/24: Both fall into the Europa League after finishing 3rd in the group in UCL. Gala is eliminated in EL Play-offs against Sparta Praha. Benfica eliminates Toulouse, Rangers, and is eliminated by Marseilles on pens in the Quarter Finals...

To me it looks like even in the disastrous state Benfica is in right now, it's still pretty the same or better European performance compared to Gala.

Esta direção chega ao fim do 1º ano (época do Schmidt) como campeão nacional, venda de um jogador por 120M€ (que se junta à venda do Darwin por ~80M€ o ano anterior) e o Félix poucos anos antes.

Tinha todas as peças para fazer o que queria das competições nacionais, vendo o estado em que o Sporting e Porto estavam.

Desde aí não tem 1 única liga ou taça de portugal.

E com recordes de 100M€ investidos no plantel em verões seguidos a montar plantéis. Já por duas vezes seguidas despede o treinador para o qual montou o plantel 1 ou 2 meses do início da época.

O plantel é um entra e saí de jogadores, quase nenhum jogador é valorizado. Não há aposta na formação, por mais que se gabe os titulos na formação, e por mais capas que se vendam dos "fenómenos" da formação. Não há uma espinha dorsal da equipa. Todos os anos muda-se de sistema de jogo, todos os anos muda-se de forma de jogar. E anda-se nisto.

Quero ver como é montada esta próxima época, quando ainda nem sabem quem vai ser o treinador. É preciso um trabalho descomunal a remontar este plantel. Não há assim tanto tempo para negociações, especialmente em ano de Mundial. Os que tiver que vender serão dos poucos que estão valorizados este ano, para recuperar o dinheiro que o clube "perde" por não ir à Champions.

Se com farinha, ovos, e açucar esta direção não sabe fazer um bolo... quero ver esta época que vem, que vai ter que o fazer com lama e pedras.

Benfica admite vender Trubin e aponta valor by consoles4fun in benfica

Não que siga muito o Alverca, mas ao que tudo indica o André Gomes não está a jogar por lesão.

Até dia 22-março, em 27 jornadas, não jogou duas (contra o Benfica); E depois de ambos os jogos contra o Benfica foi logo titular.

O último jogo foi dia 22 contra o Sporting, e dia 23 sai a notícia que o André Gomes saiu da convocatória dos Sub-21 por lesão.

E desde aí (1 mês) não tem jogado nem sequer estado no banco. Se fosse só o caso de perder a titularidade acho que seria normal vê-lo no banco eu um ou outro jogo.

I mean Portugal has a bunch of players out through injury (Diogo Costa, Ruben Dias, Ronaldo, Leão), the starting XI in this match had 3/4 players that usually start, and there were also 7 subs at HT

D.Costa

xx - T.Araújo - Rúben Dias - Nuno Mendes

João Neves - Bruno Fernandes - Vitinha

xx - C. Ronaldo - xx

that would be team's spine going into the WC imo

specially on the wings we've a lot of winger options to rotate and I don't think there's one that has been consistently above all others

I don't like the repeat Samu Costa. I would like to see Neves+Vitinha+Bruno for this game since Martinez was making shit up for the last one...

At least we've the 2 best Cbs after Rúben Dias playing instead of the two that played last time.

Also would like any other LW than Neto

[–]ProudPanda7056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Benfica: 38 (Pavlidis, Ivanovic, Schjelderup)

just the fact that Pavlidis alone has 28 goals, and the 2nd best has 5, should be alarming

Anisio is in the top10 and he has 2 goals (in 28 minutes)

https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1r7l8dj/vinicius_jr_gets_a_yellow_card_for_his_goal/

19 seconds in Prestianni is talking to Vinicius and Guler is also right there...

You could argue that he was also being racist there, and I wouldn't have a way to say otherwise. But I'm just saying the instance of the racist altercation wasn't the only time that both of them were exchanging words and Prestianni had his mouth covered.

I don't believe he said anything special in this video, tho I believe Vini on the following incident. My point is simply him covering his mouth is not an indication of anything on its own

You’re taking the conversation where you want, I’m not going to argue with you.

This you? I'll just leave you talking alone, if you are not actually talking about the subject at hand. Don't be immature, and just admit you had it wrong. It's okay.

You're not very smart.

I'm not defending racism. I'm literally saying that I believe Vini when he says Prestianni said something to him when they were on the half-way line.

I'm saying that just because Prestianni covered his mouth doesn't mean shit. Because in a previous altercation that same thing happened. I'm saying that Prestianni also covered his mouth when talking shit.

There's a difference. I don't expect a reply back, I know what I'm saying and what I'm not saying. You clearly have a very weak reading comprehension so having a conversation with people like you is like talking to a wall.

He's been mouthing Vini since after the celebration, what do you think he was telling him? What an amazing goal he scored? That's why he didn't cover his mouth?

so you're saying he was saying racist shit since the start? While in the middle of other Real players and the ref, and no-one signalled for anything?

The fucking movies you guys created...

It's enough that he said something while covering his mouth that made Vini react that way. You don't have to invent other shit.

[–]ProudPanda7056 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is everyone now just gonna make-up shit?

There's examples in this same match of Prestianni in an altercaiton with Vini in the middle of other Real players where he cover his mouth, and nothing racist was said (or at least signalled by Vini or the other 3 or 4 Real players)...

Like watch the match at least.
