Atletico Madrid vs Benfica History

Atletico Madrid first competed in the European Cup in 1958/59, losing to local rivals Real Madrid in the Semi-finals. Fifteen years later, they reached their first final, where they drew 1-1 in the first encounter with Bayern Munich, only to then be annihilated 4-0 in the replay two days later. In 2013/14, Diego Simeone’s side defeated both Chelsea and FC Barcelona en route to the UEFA Champions League Final, where they came painfully close to winning in normal time, only to end up being defeated 4-1 in extra time by Real Madrid. They suffered another defeat to their city rivals two years later, this time losing out on penalties.

Benfica won their first European Cup in 1961 and then retained the title the following season, and As Aguias were without a doubt a side to be feared during this spell. They reached another three finals in the 1960s, albeit somehow contriving to lose to AC Milan, Inter Milan and Manchester United in those encounters. The Primeira Liga side experienced something of a renaissance in the competition in the late 1980s, reaching the finals in 1987/88 and 1989/90, losing to PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan, respectively.
