Benfica won the European Cup twice in the 1960s and have now reached the quarter-final stages five times since the tournament was rebranded as the Champions League in 1992.

Liverpool beat Benfica 6-4 on aggregate in last season's quarter-finals.

Benfica have not won any trophy since 2019 but the Lisbon outfit are enjoying a brilliant season and currently sit eight points clear at the top of Portugal's Primeira Liga.
