The 2025-2026 Portuguese league season has concluded with Porto emerging as champions, followed by Sporting Lisbon in second place. Benfica, coached by former Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho, secured a commendable third position.
In the final match of the season, Benfica traveled to Estoril and won 3-1. Goals were scored by Montoya, Bah, and former Beşiktaş player Rafa Silva, who put a fitting end to the season with his goal.
80 POINTS ACCUMULATED
Benfica achieved a total of 80 points, with 23 wins and 11 draws across their 34 matches. This placed them eight points behind the champions and two points behind second-placed Sporting Lisbon.
UNBEATEN THIRD
Under the guidance of Mourinho, Benfica aimed for a championship title but instead secured third place, which was still a noteworthy achievement. Notably, the team managed to finish the season unbeaten, drawing attention for their remarkable performance.
Mourinho's ability to lead Benfica to an unbeaten season is impressive, but third place is still a letdown. Can he turn things around next season and claim that elusive title?
