Benfica's Champions League campaign got off to a breathtaking start as they handed Atletico Madrid a convincing 4-0 defeat in what can be described as a one-sided match.
The hosts started strongly and managed to dominate the proceedings, creating several scoring opportunities that allowed them to capitalize on their home advantage.
And capitalize they did! Benfica's forwards proved clinical in front of goal as they fired home four times to leave Atletico reeling.
Diego Simeone, the Atletico manager, was left speechless after the match as his team failed to muster any credible challenge against their opponents.
The huge scoreline was a fair reflection of the gap between the two teams on the day as Benfica cantered to an easy victory.
Despite having several talented players at his disposal, Simeone found it difficult to inspire his team to mount any form of meaningful resistance.
Atletico will now be forced to regroup and reorganize after this humiliating defeat as they bid to turn their Champions League campaign around.
However, for Benfica, the victory comes as a significant boost to their chances of advancing to the knockout stages of the competition.
The performance displayed by the Portuguese side will undoubtedly give them a lot of confidence going into their upcoming matches.
Benfica's rampant display will also be a warning to the other teams in their group as they attempt to progress to the next round of the Champions League.
