Benfica Vs Real Madrid Head To Head: Can Los Blancos Take Revenge Or Will Mourinho Put His Antics to Good Use Once Again?

Real Madrid head to Portugal for their Champions League Playoffs First Leg against Benfica at the Estadio Da Luz. Madrid have been in strong form recently and are looking to secure passage into the Round of 16 of the UCL, starting with a positive result in the capital city, Lisbon.

Benfica, meanwhile, are still fresh off their heroics in the last match against Los Blancos, where a last-minute goal from Antoli Trubin not only helped Jose Mourinho's men gain a playoff spot but also pushed Real Madrid out of a place in the top 8, which would have guaranteed them a direct qualification into the Round of 16.

SL Benfica would look to win this game at their home before travelling to the Bernabeu in the second leg, to remain in contention for one of the most expensive trophies in the world.
