Overview
- Benfica beat Estoril 3-1 on the final day to complete 23 wins, 11 draws and no defeats under José Mourinho.
- They finished with 80 points, eight behind champions Porto and two behind second-place Sporting, which left them third.
- Portugal awards only two Champions League places through the league, so third sends Benfica to the Europa League next season.
- Multiple outlets report Mourinho is in advanced talks to return to Real Madrid, with the Estoril match widely billed as his last game for Benfica.
- Going unbeaten without taking the title is rare in Europe, and Benfica last endured this odd outcome in the 1977–78 season.
