Lol Fleix is normally fine, top 5 referee in Europe normally i didn't watch the game apart from extra time and saw Benfica be completely lousy infront of goal during that time and Sevilla missing a 1 on 1 golden chance.
Then penalties and well lol....i thought England were bad at penalties but that was pretty bad from Benfica.

Oh well the Kong line continues ^_^

Why? It was a really interesting match imo. No goals but lots of highlights. To bad Benfica didnt win, they really deserved it. But they still didnt manage to break the curse

I found it very unentertaining tbh. lots of bad play, lots of bad decision also from the ref, maybe i shouldve waited for the free kicks, but I didnt bother. Just my opinion..

ref was terrible but Benfica should have had a lot more urgency. It was apparent from the start that Sevilla was comfortable going to penalties and the shoot-out showed why. Fear dictated Benfica's play too much, the "curse" is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. (if it wasn't that already)

Two legged challenge from the side with the ball nowhere near to purposefully injure Sulejmani (went out with a dislocated shoulder), knowing Platini had already taken care of the other two starting wingers for Benfica. How is that not a red card? That's at the 12th minute.

Just before half time, Gaitan gets tripped from the back in the box facing only the goalkeeper.. One thing is mild contact in the upper body. Another is contact on the legs from behind, and that very easily makes you trip. How is that not a penalty and a red? What are goal-line refs for?

Finally, the penalty on Lima in the second half. Sevilla's player already had a yellow. How is that not a penalty and second yellow?

Sorry about these rants. So frustrating.

And on top of that you have this on the penalty shoot-out:

[image loading]

And there's a handball by carriço in the area that could be a 3rd penalty and a second yellow to carriço.

If this isn't enough reasons to say that it was the ref's fault, I don't know what is...

With that said, Benfica only have themselves to blame.

The penalty has to be repeated nonetheless... Awful penalty kicking is not a reason for the keeper to be 2 meters in front of the line.

Pande just to put things in perspective for you, this was more or less on par with the Ovrebo game. But it's not as controversial because it's a fucking Europa League Final and not a Champions League Game. Uefa didn't want Benfica to win this competition. Don't ask me why

Lol indeed but you take consolation in that this game means nothing? :D
Europa League final is not where Benfica should be? You had a shocking Champs League where you finished 3rd to none other than Olympiakos...on goal difference! Also started off your season badly to eventually win the domestic league. After last season you should of changed Jorge, lots of people thought he had lost the plot and rightfully so. He won you the league just about and another failure in the Europa League Final. That isn't where Benfica want to be? Surely Benfica is a top 16 pushing top 8 Champions league every year?

I admit winning Europa League might be a consolation but it isn't anything to shout about, its just confirming your "the best of the rest"

Pushing doesn't mean achieving Just means pushing to get a lucky tie in RO16 then getting RO8
Aka Olympiacos could of been top 8 this season if they didn't see their best player for Fulham xD

Porto reached multiple RO8s which Benfica surely could do same with.

But of course on paper
Barca
Real
Atletico
Bayern
Dortmund
PSG
City
Chelsea

They aren't quite close to that but if again City vs Barca RO16 you get an easy tie somewhere.

Oh also they are in Pot 1 every season right? xD
Yeah they are;

And since United is not on any UEFA competition next year we'll start the season as the number 5 on the UEFA Ranking.
And in terms of Budget we're not even in the Top 30...

But's that's no consolation prize for anyone.

I'm not saying they're not there historically, but I don't see how they can be expected to compete for top 8 europe nowdays. I mean my list only had two english clubs and none from italy..

Basically I think that Benfica is a team that should be content with winning the league and reaching europa league finals, they're not one of those "should always qualify from CL group stage" teams.

They're not, but they could. Hell, Benfica were close to beating Chelsea some years ago when the blues won the CL, didn't they lose because of a missed penalty or something of the kind? I can't remember right, but I think that was on the quarter-finals.
