Eagles debut in the Championship in Reboleira

Having achieved their first objective towards the Champions League stage, Benfica now turns their attention to the Primeira Liga, where they will debut at Estrela da Amadora. The Lisbon derby comes after the tie against Nice and before a demanding match at Fenerbahçe, counting towards the millionaire competition's playoff . Despite the demanding schedule at the start of the season, which even led to the postponement of the opening matchday against Rio Ave until September, the Eagles have little room for maneuver and want to start the Primeira Liga with a win, unlike in recent seasons, or risk falling behind rivals FC Porto and Sporting.
