SL Benfica were irresistible in the first half of the 2022-23 season. “Roger Ball” was cooking every team it came into contact with, and Benfica even finished ahead of both PSG and Juventus in their Champions League group. From there, things got a bit strange after the Enzo Fernandez transfer saga, with Benfica becoming mortal again, and losing what was once a massive lead in the league. In the end, Benfica were crowned champions, but their season went from feeling invincible, to feeling like they barely survived Porto’s challenge.
Jump ahead to the 2023-24 season, and that feeling of “just surviving” matches has continued, and reached a boiling point in February. With brutal performances against Toulouse, a 2 - 1 defeat to Sporting, and a 5 - 0 embarrassment at the hands of FC Porto, Benfica’s manager Roger Schmidt has been under fire.
So, what happened to SL Benfica? Are the criticisms of Schmidt over-exaggerated? What’s happened to Benfica, all explained in this video.
