Europa League Draw
Must admit I’m looking for to the Benfica v Liverpool Europa League encounter. Hopefully Benfica can repeat the form they displayed against Liverpool cross town rivals Everton. All and in I have good recent memories of Benfica-Liverpool matches as it was Benfica who knocked out Liverpool from the Champions League the year after they won in Istanbul
Too bad Simao isn’t around anymore.
Too bad Miccoli isn’t around either.
