The match between Benfica and Arouca, part of the 26th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, was notable for more than just the final score. Several top European football clubs were present at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca last Saturday to watch the game between Arouca and Benfica.

The two headline clubs were Barcelona and Juventus, teams that have previously been linked to Benfica players, such as AntĂłnio Silva, who was rumored to be heading to the "Vecchia Signora." However, these two clubs were not the only ones in attendance.

Other clubs from Europe’s top leagues were also represented at the match, such as Alavés, Leeds, and Stuttgart, the latter being Porto’s opponent in the Europa League round of 16. On the other hand, no Portuguese club decided to send anyone to Arouca.

It’s worth noting that Barcelona had already “scouted” the match between Benfica and Braga in the final four of the League Cup, back in January. Manchester United, former club of Ruben Amorim, was also present at the Dr. Magalhães Pessoa stadium at that time.

Remember that the Eagles will be back on the pitch next Saturday, March 21, against VitĂłria de GuimarĂŁes. The match, part of the 27th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 18:00 at Luz.
