From San Siro to Celtic: Benfica's opponents

Benfica learned their opponents in the first phase through a draw that defined the competition's schedule. The main highlight of the draw was the Portuguese team's reunion with coach Amorim, in a duel that will take place at San Siro Stadium, home of AC Milan. This match is considered the theoretically most difficult game of the first phase for the Eagles. In addition to this clash, Benfica will have two direct duels with Dutch teams, which represents another significant challenge in the group. The Lisbon side also hosts Celtic, thus completing a set of opponents that promises to be demanding.
