The Icing on the Cake of Shame

Three trophies. Three trophies that Benfica could have won. And maybe should have won.

But they won none.

Not even the one in which they faced a team like Vitoria Guimaraes in the final.

We're not talking Porto or Chelsea anymore. We're talking losing a final against the likes of 9th-place Guimaraes.

No doubt about it, Jorge Jesus has got to go.

Either that, or Benfica's leadership is full of suckers, to put it mildly.
