Benfica vs Club Brugge History

Whilst it’s true that Benfica have a rich history in Europe’s premier club competition, it’s also evident that their most accomplished era in the tournament came a long time ago. In the 1960s the Portuguese outfit was one of the most feared teams in European football. Across the 60s, they appeared in no less than five European Cup Finals, winning in both 1961 and 1962, beating FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, before losing to AC Milan (1963), Inter Milan (1965) and Manchester United (1968).

Two more finals followed in 1988 and 1990, also resulting in defeats, this time against PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona. In the Champions League era, Benfica haven't come close to replicating their former glory.

Club Brugge, too, enjoyed their best spell in the tournament some time ago. In 1976/77, they reached the European Cup quarter-finals and the following season they beat Juventus to reach the final, where a Kenny Dalglish goal was enough to see Liverpool clinch European silverware at Wembley Stadium. In more recent times FC Bruges had barely featured in the competition prior to the 2020s, and reaching the Champions League knockout stages has proven an elusive task for the Belgian side.

Benfica vs Club Brugge Head-to-Head

These two sides first met in competitive European action in the Champions League Round of 16 in the 2022/23 season. Goals from João Mário and David Neres gave Benfica a 2-0 win at the Jan Breydel Stadium, and the same two players were on the scoresheet as the Portuguese giants thumped their opponents 5-1 in Lisbon.

Benfica vs Club Brugge Mutual Connections

A number of players have represented both clubs over the years. One example being Croatian forward Mario Stanic. The creative attacker spent one season at Benfica, scoring five goals in 15 games before moving to Belgium, where he proved far more successful.

In a season and a half at Club Brugge, Stanic racked up 33 goals in 53 games, helping the club to domestic honours, before moving to Parma in 1996 and eventually ending his career at Chelsea.
