Inter vs SL Benfica Tickets

Inter Milan and Benfica, two formidable football clubs, have both tasted success on the biggest stage. Together, they boast an impressive tally of five European Cup victories.

Playing in their iconic black and blue stripes, Inter Milan have won three European Cup trophies. The competition is now known as the UEFA Champions League. The Italian giants secured consecutive titles in 1963 and 1964, but their fans would have to wait almost 50 years to achieve glory for the third time. Inter won the Champions League trophy in 2010, defeating Bayern Munich in the final to secure a memorable treble under Jose Mourinho

In the 2022/23 edition of the UEFA Champions League, the Nerazzurri reached the final once again, but succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Hailing from the vibrant city of Lisbon, SL Benfica has etched its name in football history by claiming numerous trophies on both the domestic and continental fronts. The club stands tall as the most decorated in Portuguese football history, achieving iconic back-to-back European Cup triumphs in 1961 and 1962. In addition to this feat, Benfica has outshone its rivals, FC Porto and Sporting CP, by amassing a greater number of league titles.

Despite their remarkable achievements, SL Benfica has, over time, earned a reputation as perennial losers in European finals. Astonishingly, they have suffered defeat in eight successive European finals, with their most recent loss occurring in the 2014 UEFA Europa League final against Sevilla.

Legend has it that former manager Bela Guttman, displeased by Benfica's refusal to increase his salary after those two European Cup conquests, cast a curse upon the club, allegedly stating, "Not in a hundred years from now will Benfica ever be European champions again".
