tomorrow at Estádio da Luz (20.30 GMT)

we have to recover from a 2-0 defeat in Russia,

so we have to believe :)

players called by Trapattoni:

GR:
Moreira e Quim;

Defesas:
Luisão, Alcides, Fyssas, Dos Santos, Miguel e João Pereira;

Médios:
Petit, Bruno Aguiar, Geovanni, Nuno Assis, Simão, Manuel Fernandes e Carlitos;

Avançados:
Mantorras, Nuno Gomes e Karadas

I think we'll either win 5-0 or lose again miserably at home.. I think it will depend on Simao and if he decides to play or dissapear :rolleyes:

If Benfica play like they did with V.Guimarães, they will lose. Actually, I would say that Benfica has very low chances of passing to the next round. I think that the only way that Benfica can score is in set pieces (where Simão and Petit shine), and if the individual talents of some players show up(Simão, Nuno Gomes, Geovanni, Miguel). But I can say...it will be really difficult. Remember...Porto drew 0-0 at home with them...

Honestly, i'm not to confident that we will pass... But i always have some hope... And has shinji and Johnny_Big said it will depend to much on the main players.

I still believe that if we have Simão, Miguel and Nuno Assis on their days we will win it 2-0, and then solve it at the extra-time, in case of this happens it will win the team that has better fisical conditions...

Well, Força Benfica! :)

f*ck this game, I'd rather win in Porto

i think you've watched tuesday's cl games of arsenal and liverpool :crazyboy:

0-0 at HT

CSKA is defending very well

0 - 1

almost feel bad for those of you that still believed in a turnover.

It's over now...goal from CSKA...Goodbye :mrpimp:

it's over

i'm tired of Trapattoni :kader:

and another Goal...but offside....AGAIN?!?!??

This referee is a shame...:rolleyes:

GOAL KARADAS

Too little too late, have a nice day Benfica!:p

Well...Ja não estão nas 3 frentes. :|

I'm kind of conformed with the result. Yes i had hope, but every Benfiquista still has hope even if the result was 3-0 at Russia... The problem here is Trapatoni...

There was not any good moves in the attack except the long shots ( Where Petit was GREAT (Y) ) There were no "desmarcações" by the front players... The only player in the attack that was playing well IMO was Geovanni that was substituted by Miguel that doesn't bring nothing new to the team. We are playing very bad, Trap doens't bring motivation to the team... Nuno Gomes and Simão look sad players if you know what i mean. We clealry need to worry more with the attack, we need to have a more attacking football!!

LFV better start worrying getting a new coach, like Carlos Brito for example.

Playing like this, and seeing that we don't have mentality to the "Big Games" i don't have to much hope we will win at Porto... Still, i have some.

Força Benfica! :)

I had already said I didn't have any hope of winning this game. Anyway, this time (contrarily to what happened in Russia) I think that we had a decent performance and the players worked hard.

Anyway, I think this game was bad for us, because many of our players got very tired and this is worrying for the game against Porto on Monday.

good result. it was predictable though.

Trap has gone mad. :fluffy: :lui: :gavin:

Two legal goals against Benfica denied by the ref? It's the Apito Encarnado! (H)

Thank you CSKA. (H) :hump:
