    What’s up with Benfica, this team is a far cry from what they were last year.

    Could’ve been 6-0 in the first half.

    He finally decided to put a fullback, only took 3 goals in 20 minutes

    3 subs in the 85th minute.

    Fans being animals.

    Just useless, sack this club from top to bottom, awful awful management. I hate comparing but this is one of the worst Porto teams ive seen and they’re first in the CL and play their hearts out, we spend a shitton of money and are just beyond useless

    It could have been 5-0 in the first 25 minutes. Embarassing from Portugal’s greatest club. Embarassing.

    So freaking proud of this team, another great performance, the first 30 or so mins in special were so blessed.

    So close to qualifying, I’m gonna be locked to the screen in the Inter match in a few mins.

    Maybe a bit shakier than it needed to be in the second half but nevertheless, very good defensive effort from La Real. Something that isn’t usually consistent, but today one big chance let in throughout the second half.

    Le Normand was fantastic. Put everything on the line tonight. Elustondo was fantastic as well. Munoz too.

    Mikel Merino what a player. And the first half performance as well, but that goes without saying.

    Sociedad are just ridiculous. Surely they cant keep this intensity for the whole season?

    This result massively flatters Benfica, it was men against boys apart from 10 minutes at the start of the second half. Merino’s disallowed goal was insanely unlucky and it’s kind of a bullshit rule since the ball was already going in without the handball. Then Brais misses a penalty

    Without any exaggeration, it should have been 5-0 at half time
