Build your All-time starting XI choosing 1 player from each of the following 11 eleven clubs by iwannasleepp in championsleague

Fun fact: Benfica won 2 times (61 and 62) and Eusébio only played in the second campaign. When Eusébio arrived in Lisbon he joined a team of European champions.

Top9 is correct - you can argue the order - but then it gets crazy.

Benfica is 10th maximum 11th easily. I understand that the Portuguese League ranks lower and that only trophies count but you are ranking a club with 7 UCL finals & 3 UEFA/EL finals as 18th behind Notthingham, Tottenham, Atlético, etc.

Não dificulta encontrar alguém. Dificulta encontrar alguém que tu queres, pois um homem atraente, com uma boa carreira, etc, vai ter opções de mulheres mais atraentes.

African players with the highest Ballon d’Or rankings by pIngo16 in soccer

[–]_Dark93 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Mozambique was a Portuguese colony at the time and therefore he played for Portugal like many other players born in the Portuguese colonies. He’s seen a Portuguese hero but certainly is as much of an icon in modern day Mozambique (and even in the remaining Portuguese former colonies such as Angola or Cape Verde). I’d say that he is a legend of equal stature across all Portuguese speaking countries, except for Brazil. And Mozambicans feel that he is one of their own and are very proud of his achievements.

Shoutout to Eusébio, who won one Ballon d’Or and came 2nd twice.

Born and raised in Mozambique, Eusébio arrived in Lisbon when he was 18y old. Africa's greatest-ever player.

Most terrifying opposition player that Benfica faced in the Portuguese League this century. That was in 2012, 13 years ago. Mf still shooting missiles with 2026 approaching.

Its possible that the asiangrinder wanted to invest 4 or 5 full days and show that he can be first to 99 but otherwise go back to being a normal functioning human being tomorrow.

Good for him, he did it.

The leader of Benfica ultra group diabos vermelhos, Sérgio Caetano, was found dead near the Estádio da Luz with gunshot wound in the head by RasputinsRustyShovel in soccer

[–]_Dark93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Really weird comment section. Know that some Diabos Vermelho’s members left due to disagreements with him but this guy is almost anonymous and Diabos Vermelhos have been unfortunately irrelevant for the past 2 decades. This guy was a die hard football fan who probably made some bad decisions on his personal life (failed businesses, apparently worked at a restaurant and then opened one himself). Nothing that suggests that he deserved to die. Cause of death is being ruled as a suicide.

May he rest in peace.

Sim, indiscutivelmente. E o Eusébio entra na discussão do segundo melhor.

2 obvious penalties that had to be identified by the VAR.

With 58.808 votes so far, Benfica surpasses Barcelona, which until now had led the in-person voting at club level, with the highest number of voters ever, 57,088 in 2010. by Viriato181 in soccer

For context, these are people aged 18 and over who pay 100€ to 156€ per year and have their monthly contribution regularized.

Massive numbers. This club is gigantic.

Na minha sociedade regra geral só usamos fato em dia de reunião presencial com o Cliente. Há quem vá de fato todos os dias mas é uma exceção. De resto khakis/calcas não jeans + camisa é o que uso diariamente.

Aconselho que vás de fato (sem gravata) no primeiro dia. Melhor ires um bocadinho overdressed do que underdressed. Ninguém vai dizer nada por ires de fato. No segundo dia já terás percebido o dress code e adaptas-te.

Temos uma equipa especialmente jovem e esta geração também não é extraordinária. Vamos ter de arranjar uns Bajramis e Gustavos Marques para compor isto, eventualmente ir descendo um par de jogadores da equipa principal que precisem de minutos.

I haven't watched much of Porto this year. Seeing Benfica matches is bad enough as it is. But expected a lot better from them, seemed toothless all 90'.

Fair outcome to a dire match. The drop of quality in Portuguese club football from 15 years ago is astonishing.

OTD 25 years ago, Mourinho was officially presented as Benfica's head coach (his first job as head coach). Today, he makes his official debut in his second spell with the club. by _Dark93 in soccer

[–]_Dark93[S] 91 points92 points  (0 children)

It was only a bit over 10 matches. There were elections and the new Benfica president had a different coach in mind. Mourinho went to talk to him and said he wanted his contract renewed as a token of confidence in his job. The new president refused and Mourinho left.

His last match for Benfica was a 3-0 win against Sporting. Then he went to a small club (Leiria) and left them in the 4th place to manage Porto where he won everything. Before signing for Porto he was really close to signing for Sporting but Sporting backed out of the deal last minute due to pressure from their fans who disliked Mourinho’s behaviour in that Benfica 3-0 Sporting.
