Benfica vs Arsenal History

The 1960s saw As Aguias dominate the European game, with the Primeira Liga side reaching the European Cup Final on five occasions in this decade. They won in both 1961 and 1962 against FC Barcelona & Real Madrid but lost the other three clashes to AC Milan, Inter Milan and Manchester United. In 1988 and 1990, they suffered final defeats to PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan, and during the UEFA Champions League era, they have failed to come close to the achievements made during the club’s heyday.

Arsenal regularly qualified for the UEFA Champions League during Arsene Wenger’s lengthy tenure as Gunners boss, and the North London side would usually find themselves making it to the latter stages before losing to one of the big guns. In 2006, they fought their way to the final in Paris to face FC Barcelona and at half-time, even though they were down to ten men, they led the Spanish giants, only to run out of steam and concede twice late on. After a six-year absence, Mikel Arteta returned the Premier League side to the competition and in 2023/24, they reached the Quarter-Finals before losing to Bayern Munich 3-2 on aggregate.

Another star to have represented both teams is former Swedish international midfielder Stefan Schwarz. The talented performer moved to Benfica in 1990 from his hometown club, Malmo, and he went on to spend four years with the club, winning two league titles, before moving to Arsenal in 1994, where he spent just one season before transferring to Serie A side Fiorentina.
