I'm a Sporting fan, but Benfica deserve all the credit for what they have done throughout their history. By the way, this video deserves more views and comments.

underrated team one of the best to ever play football but many will not know

[ruirodrigues]

Benfica, the best european club team of the 60's! 5 presences in the final of the European Cup (61, 62, 63, 65, 68); 2 wins (61, 62)!

I'm a Benfica fan since forever and it's sad to see what the club has become.

For a Hungarian the 1962 cup final sounds like a real treat. Bela Guttmann vs. the mighty Ferenc Puskas. Loved it. So happy for Benfica yet a little sorry for Real Madrid.

[Smudgeroon]

The Benfica board really messed up in 1962 by not giving Bela Guttman a payraise. It's been said this refusal has put a curse on the club, destined not to win another European cup for 100 years.

Benfica during the 60´s and 70´s where for sure TOP 3 european clubs.

Benfica seem to go under the radar a bit but boy this was a great side. Eusebio the king of Portugal along with Ronaldo now but he was the first man to put Portuguese football on the map

[dazzaMusic]

I didn't think curses existed but this story is so tragic

[igorsvacic]

Still 40 years to finish the curse!!!!
Two years ago arround 1000 Benfica fans went to Bela Guttmans grave to ask forgiveness XD
They lost again. So obviously, he didnt forgive. They lost so many finals, cup finals, championships in the last match, its ridicolous

[nenadmarincic]

[manueljoaquim]

thanks you for uploading this, growing up I always heard that Portuguese player were the best, and now i know why

[brandaoz]

We lost the 1963 Champions Cup because Germano(8:08) was injured...Altafini wouldn't do what he did..😢😢

[bconni]

Eusebio was so good in his prime, a young Pele modeled his game after him.

[miguelperalsanchez]

Could anybody pass the name of the music in the introduction? It's so epic :)

[gratefuldead]

Something like a dream team, technically, physically, a faboulous benfica generation...

Uma pergunta para os português, por favor. Estou a aprender português e tenho dificuldade a compreender o sotaque Português. Mas quando eu ouço a António Simões aqui, eu posso entender ok. Porque é? Ele tem um sotaque diferente ou único?

[nandoandrade]

This is a Giant club of Europe, but the Giant still on his dreams, come on Lord of Europe let's wake up Benfica... Luis Filipe Viera it's time my friend, , , , the Eagle will fly above Europe again
