The Champions League is back! After a short break, the first leg of the quarterfinal is ready to kick off on Tuesday. Having advanced past the Round of 16, Benfica will now face off against Inter at 3:00 p.m. ET on April 11th at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica (da Luz). Benfica are currently enjoying a perfect season, with four straight wins to open their season their dominance.
It’s not hard to win when your team takes way more shots at the goal (8 vs 2), a fact to which Benfica can now attest. Everything went their way against Club Brugge back in March as they made off with a 5-1 win. Fans of Benfica probably expected little less of the team, as they’ve collected four blowout victories in this tournament so far.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Benfica didn’t give the goalie a break and made eight goal attempts. They are undefeated (5-0-0) when they put so much pressure on the goalie.
Meanwhile, Inter’s last game back in March was all defense as neither team scored a goal. Neither they nor Porto could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. Inter is lucky to have escaped without losing: they only controlled the ball for 39% of the match.
Benfica’s Champions League record is now 4-2-0, while Inter’s is 3-1-2.
