Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Benfica’s poor form spells trouble for Mourinho | OneFootball

Benfica's investment in the January market may be reduced. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our newspaper reveals that the poor results of the Clube da Luz in the Champions League, which result in less money entering the coffers, may complicate the arrival of reinforcements for José Mourinho.

After the home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica's future in the Champions League has become quite complicated. Despite José Mourinho's belief, the probability of the team advancing in the prestigious competition is low, which, if confirmed, will require an adjustment to the plan initially set for January.

One of the other scenarios on the table is the sale of some of Benfica's players to bring in athletes more to José Mourinho's liking. As revealed in an Exclusive Glorioso 1904, the name of António Silva is one of those being considered for the January market.

So far, Benfica has recorded four defeats in the Champions League: Qarabag (3-2, home), Chelsea (1-0, away), Newcastle (3-0, away), and Bayer Leverkusen (1-0, home). The first of these setbacks, which resulted in the dismissal of Bruno Lage, significantly complicated the team's aspirations.

In the second 'half' of the Champions League, Benfica is scheduled to face Ajax (November 25, 5:45 PM, away), Napoli (December 10, 8:00 PM, home), Juventus (January 21, 8:00 PM, away), and Real Madrid (January 28, 8:00 PM, home). It should be noted that to advance, it is necessary to be among the top 24 ranked teams.
