That was a special moment. I was running around the house like a lunatic. I don’t think it can be overstated what a huge, huge goal that was!!! 4 points clear with a game in hand, this title is completely in our hands now What a ****ing night
7 points clear after winning our game in hand last night, we are so close! Can’t believe how good Trincao has been since returning to the starting 11 in the second half of the season. Looks to have really matured as a player as he’s been immense
The culmination and eventual breaking point of years of issues behind the scenes. The club presidential elections are due to take place and PdC, who’s been in charge since 1982 is finally facing serious opposition from Andre Villas Boas. Poor recruitment, poor scouting and serious financial issues have finally turned enough people against him. But those who are loyal to the current president have been vandalising AVB’s house, attacking caretakers who work at his house complex and multiple other incidents. It’s turned very nasty and it’s all just consumed the club this year. On the pitch, Conceição is out of contract and it seems that serious contract talks haven’t really been entered which will undoubtedly have had an effect. His teams are complete bastards and really rely a lot on that siege mentality, so I think with everything happening off the pitch it’s just been too much of a divisive environment to perform to their usual standard
I blame 41 yr old Pepe , missing at weekend due to a ban . Watched a few live matches start of the season on Viaplay + then got taken off air but it's good to see Leôes top dogs although I'd be surprised if manager & 3/4 of their better players are still there next season but all 3 top teams buy , sell , rinse & repeat .
Amorim got the team selection badly wrong yesterday. Gyokeres starting from the bench was forced but Inacio at left wing back was insanity! Fortunately we clawed it back and all we need to do is win our 2 home games, still a great testament to this squad that we ended up drawing 2-2
We’ve done it Benfica lose and the title is therefore sealed Tremendous season. Great spirit from the squad, a couple of fantastic additions in the summer and another title for Amorim. ****ing love this squad!!!
Benfica losing at Fama is hilarious. You've gotta picture that tiny little ground in a tiny little village (that's the best word I can come up with to describe it) with little Fama beating one of the biggest clubs in the world! Well done Fama, brilliant!
