Without any doubt, Benfica are weaker team than team from Turin, but in this phase of this competition it’s not important and all teams are looking for result. Bavarians play amazing upfront their supporters and if they start this game good, they could finish the job in the first leg and go “on vacation” in Lisbon. Despite the fact that home side are favorites to win this game, their coach is Josep Guardiola. “Benfica are playing very well at the moment and I have to admit I am very impressed how well.” – said Guardiola.
