Benfica’s first challenge in the Champions League will be against Nice in the 3rd pre-deliminatory. In case of victory, the eagles already know who can face in the playoff access to the League phase of Champions.
If you defeat Nice in the third pre-sublimation, Benfica will face Feyenoord, from the Netherlands, or Turkey’s Fenerbahçe in the Champions League playoff. A path that became known Monday during the draw held in Nyon, Switzerland.
José Mourinho can thus enter (once again) on the way of the ‘Eagles’, as the Portuguese coach is in charge of Fenerbahçe. The two teams faced a few days ago at Eusébio Cup, with victory for the ‘incarnated’.
If it reaches this last round, Benfica will play the first hand away from home, having a chance to ensure the finding at Estádio da Luz.
