See where the last Benfica team to beat José Mourinho is now | OneFootball

Benfica has only ever won against a team managed by José Mourinho in official matches once in its entire history. This victory dates back to the 2003/2004 season, when, in the final of the Portuguese Cup, the reds beat Porto 2-1 after extra time. More than 20 years have passed since then, so let's find out where the protagonists of that triumph are now.

In the year that Benfica was celebrating its 100th anniversary, the team managed by José António Camacho finished second in the league, but went to Jamor to play the Portuguese Cup final against a Porto team that would become European champions a few days later. The reds hadn't won an official title since 1996, the longest title drought in the club's history.

In the Portuguese Cup final, Camacho fielded the following starting eleven: José Moreira, Armando Sá, Luisão, Ricardo Rocha, Takis Fyssas, Petit, Tiago Mendes, Miguel, Simão Sabrosa, Nuno Gomes, and Tomo Sokota. During the game, Fernando Aguiar, Geovanni, and Zlatko Zahovic came on. Also on the bench was a young João Pereira.

Benfica won the game 2-1, with goals from Fyssas in the second half and Simão Sabrosa in extra time. But where are the players from that victory today?
