These fuckers deserve absolutely nothing, bunch of cunts

Benfica is so shit this year, lmao. Porto as well.

Amorim smiles.

[–] Gamedrome22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

everything’s fine

🔥🔥🧍‍♂️🔥🔥

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.

[–] nihil0null@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I believe la Real should graciously concede first place to us because they allowed Benfica to score against them and that's unacceptable this year

[–] lbushi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Positive-Media423@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What an absurd downgrade, from title contender to a harmless and spiritless team

[–] greenhaze96@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Until next year's elections my club is gonna go through their own shit, but it's good to know we can always count on benfica for a good comic relief laugh

[–] Snoo-27292@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

ugh... It's Benficover

[–] Jadofski@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] wr0ngz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Consistency

[–] Vayu0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lampiões a lixar o coeficiente 🤣

[–] Koppite93@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Weren't Benfica the pot 1 team in this group?

[–] magawii@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] alvaror2002@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Real Sociedad was in pot 4 as well

[–] Nordie27@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MetaThPr4h@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Real Sociedad are on another level compared to us. Hell, we are like 10 levels below them at the moment.

This has been a disaterous season. There is no cohesion at all and we've spent a record amount of money on complete flops. I don't understand how the Schmidt doesn't have the balls to drop players like Rafa or Joao Mario who are incredibly out of form, or why he insists on playing Cabral, Tengsted and Chiquinho all the time.

Put some youngsters in from the academy. At least they'll have more fight in them.

[–] bapeandvape@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What Schmidt has done today is absolutely disgraceful. Playing 3 at the back with TWO midfielders as our wingbacks who aren’t even defenders is just such a horrible decision.

Then he proceeds to make the latest subs. Joao Mario should not be playing 85 min in a game where we need creativity, speed, and just anything better than what he did. Zero intensity in this game. Even after scoring the 1 goal, there was no desire to play aggressive and fight. Schmidt just sat there dumb founded and had no counter tactics at all.

Rafa, Joao Mario, Di Maria, Artur Cabral, allll useless today. The only good thing rafa did was score on goal. Other than that he just walks and holds his dick in his hand. I watched Joao Mario mess up two wide open passes under zero pressure. Didn’t complete a single dribble today. Di Maria was nowhere to be found, I literally thought he was still injured and not playing. Artur Cabral is the most useless pylon I’ve ever seen. Loanning Henrique Araujo then SELLING RAMOS AND BUYING THIS FUCKING IDIOT IS INSANE. THEN WE LOAN OUT SCHELDJUP.

From the tactics down to the players this was a fucking disaster. I get that we have injuries and we are forced to play certain plays and certain ways, but this is disgusting.

Instead of spending 20M on Cabral we should’ve kept Araujo, and spend that money on other positions that desperately need depth and quality. Honestly, I’m writing this season off already. I don’t see anything good coming from it. I’ve never been this defeated after a game. Felt like we had and have zero chance to do anything this UCL campaign

It's happening again, isn't it?

[–] TheWorldsKing@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

RIP. We are so bad, thanks a lot to Roger, Rui Costa and all the other ballbags responsible for what should be a negative record-breaking season (as in, breaking our own record for worst UCL group stage performance lol).

Sorry to Sociedad fans for our ultras being fuckwads. 😔
