Benfica have sold over £200m worth of talent this season, including star striker Darwin Nunez to Liverpool and midfielder Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea. Under German journeyman manager Roger Schmidt, they have only lost twice in 46 games since appointing him in the summer. They finished top of a Champions League group involving PSG and Juventus, picking up 13 points more than the Italians, and then blew away Club Bruges in the last 16, costing Scott Parker his job. They are seven points clear of Porto at the top of the Portuguese league as they close in on a first trophy since 2019. Only Italian teams stand between them and a first European Cup final since 1990.
