Benfica is in Pot 2 of the Champions League! The Reds benefit from the elimination of FC Porto in the 3rd qualifying round and thus avoid opponents such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham, among others.

The elimination of FC Porto against Krasnodar (3-3 in aggregate, after a 2-3 win for the Russians at Dragão) puts the men under Bruno Lage in Pot 2. 

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Tottenham, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Shakhtar and Ajax are the teams that the Eagles won't have to face in the group stage of the Champions League.  

Even as the National Champion, Benfica cannot be in Pot 1, because it is reserved for the winners of the six European championships with more points in the UEFA coefficient (Spain, England, Italy, Germany, France, and Russia) and the clubs who won the Champions League and the Europa League. Portugal sits seventh in this ranking.

Five-time champions in celebration

The newly crowned five-time national champions, Benfica's women's football team, were present at the Benfica Official Store at the Estádio da Luz on Tuesday afternoon, April 15. The Inspiradoras interacted with the many fans who lined up - some even waited more than two hours for the session to start - and who didn't waste the opportunity to talk to the protagonists of the historic feat and remember the moment with photographs. From the youngest to the oldest, everyone left satisfied. “Filipa, you're the best coach in the world,” said one Benfica fan.
