Match background Benfica • Competing in their 11th UEFA Champions League group stage, Benfica began with a 2-0 home victory over FC Astana and in the double header with Galatasaray AŞ they lost 2-1 away before winning by the same score at home. • On matchday five they recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Astana and move to ten points, the same as Atlético. • When the Portuguese champions – European Champion Clubs' Cup winners in 1961 and 1962 – lost 2-0 to FC Zenit on last season's matchday one it was their first reverse in 14 European home encounters (W11 D2). • Their other two home games last season produced a win and a draw, but it did not prevent them finishing bottom of Group C with five points. • Qualification breaks an unwanted sequence for the Eagles: previously they reached the knockout rounds in only one of their last seven UEFA Champions League campaigns. In 2011/12 eventual champions Chelsea FC beat them 3-1 overall in the quarter-finals. • Benfica's last assignment with Spanish opponents before this season came in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League final when they drew 0-0 with Sevilla FC in Turin, losing 4-2 on penalties.
