Benfica vs Atletico Madrid LIVE Score Updates, Stream Info and ...

I would like to thank you for watching this Champions League match. Have a good afternoon and see you next time!

Benfica returns to the field on Sunday (6), when they visit Nacional. On the same day, Atlético faces Real Sociedad away from home.

With calm, pressure and many shots, Benfica thrashes Atlético de Madrid and wins 4-0!

Yellow for Correa, for a strong foul on Beste.

We will have five more minutes of added time in the match.

Substitutions at Benfica: Bah and Kokçu left for Barreiro and Antonio Silva.

Kokçu took the penalty into the left corner, sending the ball into the back of the goal, increasing the score even further!

Yellow cards in sequence, one for Reinildo and one for Giménez. And these yellow cards come because Reinildo brought down Amdouni in the area, making another penalty!

Rollheiser took a shot from distance and sent the ball over the goal, out.

Amdouni tried his luck from distance and the ball was deflected wide. Beste crossed from the corner and sent the ball to Bah, who headed it powerfully to extend the lead!

Changes for Benfica: Akturkoglu and Di María were replaced by Beste and Rollheiser. And shortly before that, Serrano was given a yellow card for a heavy foul on Amdouni.

The game was currently stopped for a few minutes to treat Akturkoglu, who felt pain after being fouled, but is now back on the field.

After the changes (which on Atleti's side have been many so far) the game loses its rhythm, becoming slower and more stuck in the midfield.

Changes in both teams. At Benfica, Pavlidis left and Amdouni came in. At Atlético, Julián Álvarez left and Simeone came in.

Di Maria, on a pass from Kokçu, invaded the area and hit hard, but sent the ball into Oblak's hands!

Pavlidis, already inside the area, was brought down by Gallagher and earned the penalty for Benfica after the VAR review! Di Maria hit the penalty into the left corner, extending the score!

Kokçu took a chance with a long shot and sent the ball into the right corner, but Oblak went to get it and saved Atleti!

And Atlético took advantage of the break and made three changes: De Paulo, Koke and Griezmann were replaced by Gallagher, Serrano and Sorloth.

The teams return to the pitch and the ball rolls for the second half of the match!

With a goal from Akturkoglu, Benfica beat Atlético Madrid at home and also earned three points in the Champions League at the end of the first half!

Pavlidis received the pass inside the area and shot hard, sending the ball into the left post!

Samuel Lino, on the cross into the area, headed hard, but sent the ball wide.

The game oscillates between moments of danger and excitement happening with moments of slowness like now, where Benfica has possession, but little happens.

Llorente felt pain and was left on the ground, receiving treatment on the field. He will not continue in the match and Molina will take his place.

Di María took a chance with a long-range shot and sent the ball dangerously wide of the right side of the goal!

Correa, from outside the area, managed a strong shot, but was blocked by the defense.

Yellow for Aursnes, for a strong foul on Samuel Lino in the attacking field.

After the goal, Atlético tries to maintain possession, goes after the defense and looks for the equalizer.

Samu Lino, with a pass inside the area, risked a strong shot and sent the ball far away.

Aursnes received the pass and took a shot from distance, with Oblak palming it away. The play continued and Aursnes, already in the area, managed to pass to Akturkoglu, who sent the ball into the back of the net!

Pavlidis, with a pass inside the area, managed a powerful shot, but was blocked by the defense, earning a corner, which was beaten for Pavlidis to head hard, but Oblak palmed it away!

We have a slow start to the game, where Benfica is the one keeping possession of the ball, trying to go on the attack.

The players take to the pitch and the ball rolls for the first half of the match!

Atleti have the following starting line-up: Oblak, Reinildo, Giménez and Witsel; Llorente, De Paul, Koke and Samuel Lino; Griezmann, Correa and Julian Álvarez. And on the bench, Atleti have: Musso, Gomis, Gallagher, Sorloth, Lemar, Lenglet, Molina, Riquelme, Galán, Simeone, Javi Serrano and Spina.

"They've all been tests, because at the moment there's no margin for error in any of the competitions we're in. That doesn't mean not recognizing that Atlético de Madrid really are a great team, with the history of having kept their coach for 13/14 years, with two Premier League signings, players like Gallagher from Chelsea and the Manchester City winger [Julián Alvarez]. That in itself shows the potential of the club and also of the team. For us, for the group, what I want is for the players to maintain the same collective sense, the same ambition to win, and that's what we want: to get the three points. For the group, it would be something special to add another win to the four we've had, but for the size of Benfica, everything would still be the same, because Benfica has already achieved many more victories and conquests than just winning tomorrow's game [Wednesday], so we have to make that growth in a sustained way, and the most important thing - regardless of who it is, whether we're playing at home or away, and in this case the Estádio da Luz will be full to support us - is to go in with the ambition to win, and that can never be lacking. I don't want to make comparisons with the past. What I can say is that, fundamentally, the first ideas I gave the players were about how I want the team to position itself on the pitch. A set of ideas in attacking terms that I want to pass on, and we'll work on them depending on what happens in the games, very much on the basis of video analysis and reinforcing the behaviors that have been good for us. That's basically it. Then, without comparing myself to anyone else, it's the profile of each coach. Mine is that of bringing people together, of aggregating, of always having a collective sense, and always with the aim of getting the best out of the players and strategically preparing for the next game. That's the way I work and that's what I focus on. When you say we've already won one game... yes, this year. But do you know how many we won the first time? The aim is to continue with this record, regardless of whether it's a league game, any of the cups or the Champions League. At the moment, we have no margin for error in any of the competitions, so what we've promised is to go out onto the pitch with that ambition to win and win the game, and that's what we're always going to do. Whether we manage to do that or not will also depend on the game, what happens in the game, and if tomorrow [Wednesday]... What I feel is that we'll be a competitive team, we'll have the best version of our players, and that makes it easier to achieve goals. Moving on to the second part of the question, the Champions League, for me, for the players, are those games that can transform careers, because we're competing against teams at another level, so it's important for me, as for any other coach, to win Champions League games, to win competitions, but, for now, that's not my focus. What I want and want most is for the team tomorrow [Wednesday] to be a team, the best version of each player on the pitch, and with one certainty: that we will play to win, and that has to be our ambition".
