I am very sorry, for this evening. Benfica deserved to win! Losing on penalties does despair. Do not worry, yours is a great football team. The Champions League is waiting for you! :flagglorioso:

Football is a farce. A theater directed by rich and dishonorable guys.

Fascinating game. So balanced in such a strange way.

The Sevilla Croat number 10 was the best player on the pitch. They love those super talented number 10s at Sevilla and I love the way they build the team around that player like Barcelona do with their best player..

The team with the better players overall was Benfica.

The team with the best midfield and defence was Benfica.

The team with the best attacking forward players was Sevilla.

For me - there was one key difference.  Sevilla are hardened. How they survived 120 minutes was insane, really. But when it came to show their metal at the end, it was there. A combination of luck and Benfica's poor finishing got them to penalties, but once they got there, ruthless.

I can't imagine a team like Sevilla ever allowing a player like Oscar Cardozo in their team for so many years. Benfica have a certain softness. I don't know why, maybe the league doesn't bring out the ruthlessness the way La Liga does to Spanish teams. The Sevilla team are arseholes, but that wins games. The Benfica team were superior athletes and in most cases superior players, but wrapped in wool.

Sadly, I can't disagree much with you. The thing is, our coach is already a bit of a loser, and then we have players like Lima, Rodrigo and Gaitán that have a very weak mentality. Luisão and Garay were truly the only ones who deserved to win tonight.

Honestly, 15-20 minutes in or so, after Sulejmani got injured, I had a feeling we weren't going to make it tonight.

Maybe I need to take football less seriously before it kills me or something...
