Revived Benfica pose real threat
On Saturday night the heavyweights warmed up for Champions League match day two with the Portuguese version of El Clasico.
In the event, Jesus had to be content with a draw. But 2-2 is rather better than 0-5, which was the scoreline last season, and their performances so far suggest Benfica could turn out to be one of several dark horses in Europe, as well as genuine title contenders at home.
