🦅 EUROPE'S CURSED SUPER CLUB! SL Benfica Stadium Tour & Museum! Lisboa, Portugal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2022
- The Estádio da Luz is the home of SL Benfica in Lisbon, Portugal. Benfica are the most successful football club in Portugal having won 83 major trophies including two European Cups.
Legendary European Cup Béla Guttmann winning manager cursed Benfica who have lost EVERY European final since the 1962 triumph.
Legends like Eusébio, Luisão and Rui Costa are all remembered with tributes throughout the museum and stadium tour.
Benfica haven't won the Liga Nos since 2019 and currently sit third (10 points off league leaders Porto). Can they get back to where they belong at the top of Portuguese football?

The Estadio Da Luz and the Emirates Stadium were built by the same company, which is why they look so similar!
Yeah and apparently just a coincidence that they're both sponsored by Emirates too haha
Nada tem haver, o patrocínio nas camisolas de Emirates só começou em 2015!
O novo Estádio da Luz foi inaugurado 25 de Outubro de 2003
Porque havia o antigo estádio da Luz, um estádio imponente, que chegou a levar 135 mil pessoas!
Pode-se dizer que o Projeto é igual do Arsenal sendo mais pequeno Emirates Stadium!
Mas atenção, o Estádio da luz, pode um dia mudar de nome, mais isso implica uma parte financeira, imaginamos que se chama Emirates Stadium, a Emirates tinha que pagar bem ao Benfica para ficar com o nome Emirates Stadium deu para entender?
@@lisboaantiga260 O estádio da luz não tem mais capacidade que o emirates ? O emirates só tem 60 mil acho eu
@@claudiooliveira7007 Oh rapaz deixa-te ser Bimbo!
Se estás a dizer que os Emirates tem 60 mil, como ficamos?

Carrega Benfica! Well done! Thank you for the amazing look for us North American SL Benfica supporters.
As a Benfica fan, awesome vídeo! One more sub! Viva o Benfica 🔴⚪️🦅
Had the same tour guide, nice guy! 👍🏻 Museum is unreal!
loved this! from a benfica fan
Muito obrigado!!!
glad to see that you visited my clubs stadium its a beauty. They also have a statue of Eusebio in America as well in Foxboro, massachusetts. Home of the New England Patriots and New England Revolution. Eusebio was a great ambassador for portuguese football
Try to watch a game in Estádio da Luz. It's fantastic!! Carrega Benfica! ❤
As colunas fazem um trabalho exímio
@@Frutos707 as colunas que calam os adeptos de qualquer estádio.... curioso
Quanto muito abafam , é só imaginares a potência de uma coluna daquelas e multiplicar por centenas ... Não vejo nada de curioso .
Procura Benfica vs Gil Vicente. Foi incrível 🤩
@@Frutos707 boneco kkk
I really enjoyed the video. I think you managed to pass on the greatness of this club to both your English followers and even some Portuguese. After this amazing video you got +1 subscriber. Keep up the excellent work, hugs from Portugal!
Been watching your vids for a few months now but this is the first time I've seen non-UK ones. Very interesting video, especially as I'm a Palace fan, so good to see us mentioned with the Eagles connection :)
Excellent video! Thank you for showing the greatness of Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Cheers!!!
Great to see the enthusiasm & excitement on your face your a kid in a sweet shop....enjoy your bucket list Sam..
Cheers Martin. I hope to tick off more clubs this year! Been a tough few years for travel but I’ve got a few new countries in my sites 😃
Ah, the famed Bela Guttmann curse. Personally I think that Benfica are simply stuck in a vicious circle where bad luck, superstition and nervousness all play a part, just like you have to remember that no finals are automatically 50-50 encounters. You are bound to be playing really good opponents.
And massive robberies like the uefa Europa league final against Sevilha
@@marcioosorio3491 Seriously. How a goalkeeper can be off his line so many feet before a spot kick taken is beyond me.
Bela Guttman didn’t actually curse the club. That’s a myth that is told to these days but that is not the truth actually. He did get pretty angry at the benfica president at the time and then he was interviewed by a Austrian(I think it was Austrian) newspaper where he told what happened. and then through translation from Austrian to Portuguese it came out as a curse but it’s not what he actually said, he even returned to benfica a few years after
Great video. Thank you.
Benfica is my club. I live in Canada now and don’t get back to see matches. You did the club proud. Can’t wait for my next visit back.
Your channel is amazing 👍
What a fabulous vlog. Nice one Sam.
Awesome video, mate. Congrats!
Great video and content as always mate. Keep up the good work!
A few more fun facts: Eusebio was the first Portuguese player to win the Balon d'Or. And he was also the first African player, as he was born in Mozambique, and the first black player to win the BO. Strange that no one ever mentions that.
The word Luz means light, but it's also the name of the neighbourhood adjacent to Benfica. Luz is where the first Estadio da Luz was built and thus it's name. So the literal translation of fEstadio da Luz as the Stadium of Light is technically a misnomer.
And the original Estadio da Luz was at the time the biggest stadium in Europe and the 3rd biggest in the world, holding up to 120,000 people. Mad considering Lisbon is a relatively small city of only 500,000 people. So when full, more than 20% of the city's population would be in that stadium.
Great video! Viva o Benfica!
That’s a strange one, since the ‘ curse’, had no idea about that, it’s amazing, all these snippets of unique history you’re unearthing for us, really enjoyed that!
Interestingly, man United became the first English club to win the European cup, beating Benfica in 1968, if my history is right ?
one of the best tours to Estadio da Luz I ever seen in a youtube video. Thanks mate!
Obrigado!!!
another incredible stadium in Portugal thanks again for the tour,
Heck of a video. You earned my subscription.
Thanks so much Tom! Lots more coming soon :)
Thanks for another great stadium tour.
Great stuff Sam, bowled over by your excitement and enthusiasm on these Portugal vids ! Learnt quite a lot I didn't know about Benfica and the city itself looks fab, in the bits you showed before. Did you have the tour guide to yourself ?! It certainly seemed that way ! If so you were really lucky, came across as a personal one on one tour ...
Love your vlog mate , keeps up
You’ve won a new follower! Great vid and congrats on all success from a Benfica fan ❤️
Obrigado Joao! I'll come back to see a game at the Estadio Da Luz one day! :D
we are 118 years old now.Inferno na luz Carrega Benfica
Thank you for visiting my team! Very nice vídeo!
As a benfica fan since ever, I am very proud of my club and my country. I loved this vlog, thank you so much for sharing and showing why we are one of the best clubs in Europe ❤️
Great vid and lots of interesting facts. Glad you asked about the Santa Clara badge, used to manage them in FM for that very reason just so I could try to usurp Benfica haha. Also used to do the same with Forest Green Rovers back when they had their old Barca like badge.
I think I remember a few years ago, a Benfica-Porto match, in the former Estadio da Luz, when the security measures were not up to today's standards, an attendance of 135,000 spectators and the thousands who were unable to enter, all of this in a country of 10,000,000 inhabitants.
BENFICA 💪💪💪💪💪
Absolutely fantastic it's the fact you bring this information to the world, thank you my friend and everything you said is true, everything except Eusebio having 2 European cups but to be honest he only got 1 and a few more final, Thank you Benfica for ever ( God I miss home ) cheers
Every time you mentioned the bike wheel, I re-lived the shock with you all over again. I would have NEVER known. Cheers
Been Lisbon beautiful city. I saw Estadio Da Luz from outside but had such little time to visit stadium. So want to see it as its a home away from home stadium for me.
Loving the over seas videos 🚜🚜👍👍
You are living the dream mate
I’ve been to Lisbon and done a tour of the benfica stadium
Great video! Also quick note, Santa Clara is a team from the island of São Miguel Açores. The Azores are a group of 9 islands and not just 1. Wanted to clear that out cause the guide did say that the the bird symbol on the badge was an azor from “the Island of Açores” lol. Love the video tho! ❤️❤️
Muito bom vídeo! Abraço 🦅
As a Benfica fan, having watched Benfica lose back to back Europa league finals in 2013 and 2014, it really was painful. The commentators always liked to bring up the curse, but I was confident in Benfica winning it..
Nice one my City here I was born, BenFica Sempre, falow me back in till all the best for you.
Great video. Would love to see you visit The Estadio Nacionale where celtic won 67 European cup while you're in Lisbon
Thanks! I'm filming at the Estadio Nacional tomorrow :)
Lovely tour mate, hope you enjoyed our stadium, come back for Benfica vs Liverpool soon :P
As a Benfica fan this is a grat vid +1 sub
Legend thank you so much!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The Ç in praça sounds like the S in sack. :)
Great video as always!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for this most my club on the world 🔴⚪️🦅
Come to a match of Benfica
You should go to Madeira to see the CR7 museum, Martimo and National.
Benfica❤🦅
I've been to Lisbon back in November when my BVB played against Sporting and I also did the Benfica stadium tour!
ΨΑΞΤΕ ΤΟΝ ΧΑΡΙΣΤΕΑΑΑΑΑ
Were you happy to lose?
@@miguelfaro2.082 were you happy when you got clapped by City?
@@Super-hz5ih ignore him, loved to play against you guys! good games
@@miguelfaro2.082 your a donkey sporting is trash. That’s why he visited the luz and had no choice to watch a game in that dump named alvagaylads
Great videos you should go to a Benfica VS Sporting Darby 🔥 cheers.
the wheel also symbolizes the "Sun" or the Light source in our fan philosophy. nice tour :)
Great video mate !
Legend, cheers!!
Huge huge club Benfica
Since the Bella Gutman's curse Benfica lost..
5 European Champions final's
1 UEFA Cup
2 Europe League
3 youth league Champions League
😬😬
Benfica is easily top-10 of the most iconic and historical clubs of the world
The stadium is to go under some serious renovation inside and out next season. So next time you visit it'll be different for sure.
Great job!
Eusebio only won one champions cup, 61/62. he wasn't still in Benfica in 60/61. Amazing video on an amazing historic club
YYYYYYYYYYES HE WENT THERE!!!!
Biggest club in Portugal! You are absolutely welcome to come back!
Biggest club das tacas da liga 🤣😂🤣😂sport lixoboa
clube com mais campeonatos e taças de portugal que o teu mongo
@@tomasmoreira1557 Mas o Porto e o clube em Portugal com mais trofeus na Europa! Em Portugal Benfica ganhou mais mas ja nao ganha a 3 anos e neste seculo o Porto ganhou 3 trofeus na Europa e pode ganhar mais um este ano. 2003, 2004 e em 2011. Isso o fenomeno mesmo! Porto e claramente o melhor clube em Portugal agora sem duvida nenhuma. Nao em historia mas agora claramente
@@jorgeandrade783 com mafia tambem eu ganhava
@@rodrigoferreira2154 Diz um Benfiquista quando o vosso presidente fui para prisao por corrupcao🤣🤣🤣 O Filipe Vieira o maior mafioso de Portugal meu
Great video about a massive club. If you get chance while in Lisbon, wil you visit the National Stadium? Massive part of Celtic history. l
Yep, I'm visiting there today! Looking forward to it :)
Massive respect to the both Portuguese Clubs Benfica and Porto
Respect man. And even more respect for mentioning sporting
@@stephsantsh2216 Yes Sporting and Braga also respect to them
@@stephsantsh2216 sporting is not that big in Portugal they aren´t on the run for the championship but these last 2 years have been a surprise
@@andrevaladares1904 o Porto só ganhou 4 títulos de 1940 a 1980 cada clube tem a sua seca
Finally showing the Greatest Club in Europe with one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world.
Carrega Benfica 💪❤️
It's an incredible stadium!! Loved my visit. Thanks for watching
Not the greatest
Actually Benfica won 2 European cups, but Eusébio only won the 2nd. He still wasn't at the club on the first one (60-61).
I went to the stadium tour and museum a few weeks ago. Impressive stuff, but there weren't any Benfica replica tops to buy!
BENFICA 🦅🔴⚪
It wasn't just the three big clubs that got stadiums. 10 stadiums were built for the Euros and their respective cities/teams. Most of them are not in full use now as these smaller teams often get relegated and can't afford the costs of massive stadiums for such small audiences. Portugal has some of the smallest average audience in Europe - mostly due to how most people support the three big teams in addition to their local teams and the quality of the football practised suffers in consequence.
BENFICAAA!!
Fantastic video of an amazing club Sam. Never knew about the bicycle wheel either, or the story of the curse, that is twilight zone stuff lol.👌 🇬🇧👍
Great video! Sport Lisboa e Benfica 🦅
Incredible video bro!
Great video, what a massive club steeped in history, the fact about the cycling club was new to me too. Will you be going to the ground where Celtic beat inter in 67 whilst you are in Lisbon?
Estadio do Jamor
Viva o Benfica
Amazing my brother ❤️👍🏻
Make sure you also visit Estadio do Dragão
Great content Sam really enjoying the vids. Myself and a mate are going to be in Lisbon next week and are going to take in the Benfica vs Vizela match (not a classic but always try to get a game in when travelling) what is the current situation with regards to COVID? COVID passports? PCR/lateral flow test? What do you need to show before getting in to the stadium? Thanks.
Hiya Chris, thanks very much for watching mate.
Very relaxed within Portugal in terms of covid. Masks required but no vaccine passports or covid tests needed to get in anywhere.
You need your vaccine passport & passenger locator form for the flight over here but once here you're all good to go!
Cheers and enjoy!!!
@@FootyAdventures top man! Keep up the good work!
vizela is a very small club , we should get a nice win at home , hope you enjoy it ! Viva o Benfica ! 1904
Benfica 🔴⚪🔴⚪🦅
Great vídeo, congrats. From a Benfica fan.
Damn... that Curse story is something... WoW.
My local Australian rules football team have an eagle that flies around the city with a drone attached to it before every match like palace and Benfica
Wow great stadium look similier to emirates
Come to Portugal again and please do a video about an also very historic club: Boavista FC. We were champions of Portugal and won 5 national cups, played in the champions league, reached the semi finals of the eruopa league againts celtic and then were relagated. Fotyunatly we are back in the firts divison since 2014!
Man great video. Even i learned a couple new things. Keep it up. Great job.
Luz refers to a Lisbon parish were the stadium was built, Parish of Luz. In Lisbon theres also the Hospital da Luz, nothing to do with the lights of the stadium.
Benfica😍
It is some stadium
Wow not just the trophies won but the number of trophies won on the tour that’s incredible.
