TopicBenfica Real Madrid Champions League Kickoff Positive
Jose Mourinho vs. Real Madrid in a knockout game? This is cinema. Mourinho knows exactly how to hurt this Madrid team—he proved it last month. He’s going to set Benfica up to frustrate them and hit on the counter with Pavlidis. Madrid is missing Rodrygo due to suspension from that same chaotic game, and I don't think Arbeloa has the tactical experience to outwit Jose in a two-legged tie. The Special One is cooking.

Real Madrid has never been this embarrassed. Losing to Benfica is one thing, but losing 4-2 because the opposing goalkeeper scored a header to send you into the playoffs? That is humiliating. Interim coach Alvaro Arbeloa is fighting for his job tonight. If Madrid drops this leg in Lisbon, the season is effectively over. They aren't just playing for the Round of 16; they are playing for their dignity.
