Benfica Women has become a much better team since they lost 5-0 twice to Lyon Femmes in their debut season. Filipa Patao’s team demonstrated their ability to compete toe to toe with Europe’s top teams in their thrilling 4-4 draw against Barcelona. They progressed to this stage ahead of 4-times Champion, Eintracht Frankfurt, indicating they can compete at this level. Benfica Women has retained all of their previous 10 home matches.
