Benfica attended the party in Natal after qualifying for the Final Four of the League Cup, a trophy they have not won since 2016. And perhaps after ensuring the continuity of European competitions, after the Europa League, after not having been able to continue the League. This is everybody’s trophy, because it turned out that there was not, in the past, a truth that he seemed to have so many times – I knew that in a new period, at that time. But still Natal has the name of camp since it doesn’t provide it.

Águias bateram o Aves SAD para marco encontro com o Estoril nas meias-finais
«Tudo ainda é possível», resumiu Roger Schmidt, depois do jogo com o Aves SAD (4-1), quinta-feira, na Luz, carimbada a passagem para a Final Four. Mas o treinador referia-se, também, à «felicidade» depois de «três vitórias em três competições». A equipa, segundo Schmidt, melhorou «muito a situação».
It is the second position of the club, with less than a point from Sporting and even more from FC_Porto, leagues, drags and SC Braga, this competition will play the last matches of the Portuguese Cup with SC Braga, in Luz, and a half -time. The League Cup final in Estoril, as well as the January matches, as well as the qualifying play-offs for the Europa League final in Toulouse, in February. That’s why Schmidt also said after the game against Aves. SAD, that “the time has yet come and the decisive moment is very near. “
That year, at this point, Benfica perhaps lost the option of disputing the League Cup. But you can play comfortably at the club with all the prospects of FC Porto. The competition, the longest of a month for the World Cup, will return to the final of the year: on December 30, the players decided for the first time in the championship, with SC Braga, at the MinhoArray. , without a final, Benfica reconquered the name and won the quarterfinals of the Champions League. In December last year, Benfica eliminated the League Cup, after a clash with Moreirense, in Minho.
This time, in order to be in a position to win, I celebrated the conquest of a Super Cup, FC Porto (2-0), on August 8.
This, as it is said, is in the 10th era in which women arrived in Natal in situations of conquerors deceived in all as shown – already, before, in 2004/2005, 2005/2006, 2006/2007, 2010/ 2011, 2012/2013, 2013/2014, 2016/2017, 2018/2019 and 2020/2021. And this period is the highest point of the classification: in 2012/2013 with the same problems as FC Porto, in 2013/2014 with Sporting. and FC Porto and in 2026/2017 with 4 draws over FC Porto.
In the new years before everything, as it turned out, Benfica had 4 crossover groups: 2004/2005 (Natal is only with FC Porto and then with Sporting), 2013/2014, 2016/2017 and 2018/2019 (i. e. the time is 4 numbers). FC Porto de Natal).
A última vez, então, que o Benfica chegou ao Natal a competir por todas as provas foi em 2020/2021, naquela que foi a primeira época do regresso de Jorge Jesus à Liga. Mas os benfiquistas passaram a quadra festiva com a memória marcada pela recente derrota na Supertaça com o FC Porto, a 23 de dezembro.
Em dezembro de 2021, outra vez Jesus a marcar o Natal. A 28 de dezembro anúncio da rescisão de contrato que ligava as partes até junho de 2022, cinco dias depois de derrota com o FC Porto (0-3), no Dragão, para a Taça de Portugal. Até ao final do ano, nova derrota com os dragões, outra vez no Porto, mas para o campeonato, com Nélson Veríssimo no banco.
