Season summary

[edit]

Pre-Season

[edit]

Benfica entered the 2022–23 season without a trophy since the 2020 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. Roger Schmidt was appointed as manager.[2] The squad underwent several changes: defenders John Brooks,[3] João Victor,[4] Mihailo Ristić[5] and Alexander Bah;[6] midfielders Fredrik Aursnes,[7] Enzo Fernández[8] and Julian Draxler (on loan);[9] winger David Neres;[10] and striker Petar Musa all joined the club.[11] Departures included Jan Vertonghen, Tomás Araújo (on loan), Soualiho Meïté, Gabriel, Gedson Fernandes, Julian Weigl, Pizzi, Jota, Roman Yaremchuk, Haris Seferovic[12] and Darwin Núñez.[13]

Pre-season began on 25 June, with the first friendly on 9 July, a 2–0 win over Reading. Further victories followed against OGC Nice, Fulham F.C., Girona FC, Newcastle United F.C. and Amora F.C..

August-October

[edit]

The first official match of the season was on 2 August 2022 against Midtjylland in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, at home. Benfica won 4–1,[14] and secured progression with a 3–1 victory in the second leg.[15] In the play-off round, Benfica defeated Dynamo Kyiv 2–0 away and 3–0 at home, qualifying for the group stage.[16][17] Between Champions League fixtures, the team also recorded league wins over Arouca (4–0), Casa Pia (1–0), Boavista (3–0) and Paços de Ferreira (3–2).

September was a perfect month for Benfica, who won all their matches: Vizela (2–1), Maccabi Haifa (2–0) in the Champions League,[18] Famalicão (1–0), Juventus (2–1) in the Champions League[19] and Marítimo (5–0). The team finished the month two points ahead of Braga.[20] October opened with a 0–0 draw at Vitória de Guimarães and a 1–1 home draw with Paris Saint-Germain,[21] featuring Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, followed by a 4–2 win over Rio Ave. Benfica then drew 1–1 away with Paris Saint-Germain, advanced in the Taça de Portugal after a penalty shoot-out against Caldas S.C., and won 1–0 away against Porto at the Estádio do Dragão.[22] The team closed the month with victories over Juventus (4–3)[23] and Chaves (5–0), finishing October with a six-point lead in the league.

November-January

[edit]

In November, Benfica won all their matches. They began with a 6–1 away victory over Maccabi Haifa, finishing first in Group H and qualifying for the Champions League round of 16.[24] Domestic wins followed against Estoril (in both the league and the Taça de Portugal), Gil Vicente, Estrela da Amadora and Penafiel (both in the Taça da Liga). The last Taça da Liga group stage match, played during the World Cup, ended in a 1–1 draw away to Moreirense, with Benfica eliminated on goal difference.[25]

After the World Cup break, Benfica resumed competition with a 3–0 away defeat against Braga.[26] January was marked by speculation surrounding Enzo Fernández, who eventually left the club on 31 January.[27] Following the first defeat of the season, Benfica responded with a 1–0 home win over Portimonense, a 2–0 away win over Varzim in the Taça de Portugal round of 16, a 2–2 home draw with Sporting (with two goals from Gonçalo Ramos),[28] a 3–0 away win over Santa Clara, a 2–0 home win against Paços de Ferreira, and a 3–0 away win over Arouca, finishing the month with a five-point lead.

February-March

[edit]

Benfica opened February with a 3–0 home win over Casa Pia, but were eliminated in the Taça de Portugal quarter-finals after a penalty shoot-out loss to Braga, having played most of the match with ten men.[29] They reacted with a series of victories: 2–0 away against Club Brugge in the Champions League,[30] 3–1 at home to Boavista, 2–0 away to Vizela, 2–0 at home to Famalicão, 5–1 at home against Brugge in the Champions League,[31] 3–0 away to Marítimo, and 5–1 at home to Vitória de Guimarães.[32] They ended March eliminated from the Taça de Portugal but with a 10-point lead in the league and in the Champions League quarter-finals.

April-May

[edit]

April proved difficult for the club. Benfica began the month with a 1–0 away victory against Rio Ave. In the following match, at the Estádio da Luz, they took the lead against Porto but lost 2–1.[33] Expectations were high ahead of the Champions League quarter-finals, but Benfica suffered a 2–0 home defeat to Inter Milan in the first leg.[34] A 1–0 loss to Chaves further reduced their league lead to four points. A 3–3 away draw in Milan in the second leg eliminated Benfica from the Champions League.[35]

The winless run ended with four consecutive league victories against Estoril, Gil Vicente, Braga[36] and Portimonense. On 21 May, Benfica faced Sporting at the Estádio José Alvalade, knowing a win would secure the title. The match ended in a 2–2 draw, leaving the team two points clear.[37] On 27 May, Benfica defeated Santa Clara 3–0 at home, clinching their 38th league championship.[38]
