Real Sociedad vs SL Benfica Tickets

Real Sociedad and Benfica are two esteemed football clubs that have very distinct trophy cabinets.

Situated in the beautiful region known as the Basque country, Real Sociedad is a team with no trophies on the European stage. Their most notable achievement came in the 1982/83 season when they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup.

While they may lack a glittering European trophy cabinet, Real Sociedad has consistently competed at the highest level of Spanish football, earning acclaim for their attractive style of play and dedicated fan base. They have won La Liga twice, and the Copa del Rey on three occasions.

Established in 1904, SL Benfica boasts an illustrious history and an impressive array of domestic titles. They have outshone their arch-rivals, FC Porto and Sporting CP, by clinching more league titles. Benfica proudly stands as the most decorated club in Portuguese football, and their supporters proudly look back on their consecutive European Cup victories in 1961 and 1962.

Yet, despite all their success, Benfica has become synonymous with heartbreak in European finals. Remarkably, they have suffered defeats in eight consecutive European finals, most recently losing to Sevilla in the 2014 UEFA Europa League final.

Real Sociedad vs Benfica Head to Head

Before the 2023/24 season, Real Sociedad and Benfica had never crossed paths in a competitive match. There, they were drawn together in a challenging UEFA Champions League group alongside Inter Milan and RB Salzburg.
