Golden Boots: Benfica beats United with goals from Eusébio

If are the goals that win matches, Benfica is in front in Tuesday's clash with Manchester United, at 7:45 pm, at Old Trafford. 

As result of Eusébio's goals, the reds “won” two Golden Boots: the first in 1967/68, the second in 1972/73.

On the other hand,  Manchester United “has” only one, won in 2007/08, and oddly enough due to the accuracy of a Portuguese player: Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, it was the first Golden boot that the Portuguese international won.
