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.

Benfica in Crisis
It's amazing how a club goes months and months without losing a game, and then has to accept defeat twice in a span of only days.
After, unluckily, some might say, losing in St. Petersburg, Benfica lost again, this time in the Portuguese league.
Vitoria Guimaraes is the team that must credited for defeating the Lisbon giants.
Guimaraes is not even in the top five. They had lost to Porto and Sporting, on their home field, prior to this match.
But they played well, and they won a respected victory.
Benfica, on the other hand, may just be in a crisis, now.
They're down a goal in their Champions League tie, and they have FC Porto breathing down their necks, just two points behind, in Liga Sagres.
(Should be an interesting finish...)
