well, I expected it - which is why I didn't bet any vcash on them even if I was tempted, considering the opposition

As for CL, 1st vs 2nd place is still in play, so, at least partly, they probably had their minds on that game.
Is there a second game in Lisbon or is this a 1-leg round? If there's a 2nd leg, I am sure Benfica would make up for today's loss
