The day before the Europa final with Sevilla, Benfica presented a statue of Bella Guttman at their stadium. Him holding the two cups. Didn't work either.
They went several finals with top tier teams in Europe and lost, so what? Juventus also has a shit ton of lost finals. I'm sure Liverpool and Ajax do to.
@@miguelporto2787 Watch a video about the football portuguese then de seasons eighetins and ninethins and you see how things were,apito dourado,fuga para vigo,conselhos matrimoniais,viagens ao brasil pela cosmos...this were fc porto.
You can add to the 8 finals, 4 semi-final losses and 17 quarter-final losses. The stats with just the finals is 256-1 to lose 8 in a row. Add to that, in each final they lost either by just 1 goal, after extra-time or on penalties
I wish I could go back in time sometimes. I'm lucky enough to have seen Henry, Messi, CR7 etc but I would have loved to have watched Eusebio, Pele and the Hungarian team and the Uruguay team that beat Brazil
Some facts that weren't in the video: Eusebio's first season with Benfica was the 61/62 season and We won the first european cup without him... Best player ever with our shirt, club legend and the true King and great contributor to the second european cup, though. Another fact is that most Benfiquistas(especially the older ones) have a tremendous respect for Guttmann despite the curse... he gave us the two most important trophies in our history and curses are just supersticion... that being said it's always in the back of our heads.. but personally I prefer to see what he gave us rather than what he said in moment of anger... other thing is Guttmann wasn't the one who went and brought Eusébio to Portugal... there's a whole story about that signing and a dispute with sporting for the player wich with some research would make for a very cool story for a video ;) anyways excelent video and content, keep going!!!
That final against Sevilla is on par for the biggest robberies in European football. I don't think I've ever been more frustrated at a game than that one. 3 or 4 penalties not given, 2 red cards not given, Beto being allowed to defend penalties at the penalty spot almost... I'd put it top 3 in European football robberies, along with Barça vs Chelsea and Sporting vs Schalke 04 (another one that doesn't get talked a lot, but every Schalke goal was an invalid goal, they scored 4 of them...)
Felix Brych is the thief's name. What happened with him? He was the chosen referee for the next European supercup. Of all of Benfica's finals, we were only favorites on 2: against AC Milan in the sixties (we were two time European champions and Milan were underdogs) and against Sevilla. On that match against Sevilla, there were 3 penalty not given by Brych, only one of those is debatable. The other two were flagrant and would result in a red card to Fazio at the end of the first half. Again, before that Sevilla final match, an English ref took 3 players out of the final (Enzo Perez, Salvio and Markovic) wrongly. All of them could play as right midfielder. On that final, the right midfielder was Sulejmani (who played very little that season) and he too was taken out of the game because of a horrible tackle from Alberto Moreno on the 15th minute. So, despite all these unbelievable facts, Benfica still dominated the game and should have broken the curse that night in Torino. We will win an European cup again, although it seems pretty far from happen now, but Karma owes us, big time.
@@phtuber5469 I agree with you. He's my idol, the best player to ever wear a Benfica shirt, but it's not hard to admit that Ronaldo is the better player.
Maybe the curse it's spreading. I believe the complete the sentence was: "Benfica will not be European Champions for the next 100 years. Oh, and Messi will be one of the greatest but fail at international trophies and Tottenham will become such bottle jobs, that it will be hilarious"
My man Adrian with the good content as usual, keep it up. Love your videos. Also I have a series suggestion: You can make videos about different clubs and their situations, and what you would do to change it, kind of like what Tifo Football made about transfers, but you could do it with transfers, and other stuff such, as if the manager is doing bad, what manager you think would succeed at that club, or what tactics that club should implement, that would be very interesting in my personal opinion, thanks.
As a Benfiquista, it's frustrating whenever anyone brings up this curse thing, because it's balloney and a really poor excuse for bad investment from the president who never bother to actually put together a team that can rival other European giants. We used to be at the top and now we are a below average team in Europe and it's embarrassing. We are first in the league right now idk how because we're doing the bare minimum, playing absolute shit
While it is frustrating, I want to remind you that the team was great after Guttman left, but couldn't win a European final. Benfica till date produces great players, but as you said, the board does not invest and let's the players go early to other clubs. eg Lindelof
He has to pay off a debt. The banks fucked up the club's money and now they have to pay it back chief. If it was up to me I'd keep Rubén Días and try to get Renato Sánchez back....I feel like his failure isn't because he is bad; I think it is because he is homesick.
@@dylanrodrigues9267 It is 100% possible to pay the debt without selling the players as soon as they play a full season for the first team Lack of investment is not the only problem
This is one of the most intriguing stories in football history. I remember being really creeped out, as a child when I heard that story from my grampa. Anyways, great video by you Adrian, as always.
4:59 Translation: R- What did you think of Italian Football? Guttmann understood our goal and went straight to the point Guttmann-Milan has an incredible team. With great players and lots of knowledge. But I think it's better for Benfica this way. It's better toonly face the Italians in the "final" of the cup. In 2 games of the knockout stage it would be harder to win. In only 1 game Benfica has an advantage. Do you know which it is? Experience. The experience from having played in a European final, for the third time. Milan definitely has the best team in Italy, despite not going too far in the cup but it has been a long time since they reached the decisive game of the cup, and their players despite being incredible and knowledge full have to face this fact (firmly)and because of this im convinced that Benfica is ready, and right now they don't need me, they will be European champions again.

Yeah!!!!! Great Video! There's a saying in Portugal: "Pragas com razão, nem a um cão!" (You shouldn't curse a dog, when you're right (or when you're righteous, something like that)). Guttman had a good reason to be furious and the curse stuck. Remember that Benfica also sent Mourinho away, only to watch him hand over a UEFA Cup and Champions League to FC Porto. 😒

In Colombia we have something similar with a club called America de Cali. They had lost 4 Copa Libertadores finals due to the curse of a former manager, it's called "Garabato's curse"
Absolutely loved to finally see you cover this story, in fact the tale has gained traction on Brazilian RUclips lately. Which reminds me: When are gonna cover Brazilian football, man? :B
That was indeed a very well known curse for Racing Avellaneda. Back in the 1960's, arch rivals Independiente frustrated by the success of their neighbours, buried 8 cats in their stadium and they were never able to win another argentinian title nor copa libertadores. Keep in mind that when this happened, Racing were south american champions and argentinian champions as well. After many years of trying to find the dead cats, only recently after the fans once again start digging, could they find the last cat and guess what? Racing were champions again. Go figure...
IT IS REAL BRO!!! We all feel it!! I was about to type "I can see that BENFICA shirt underneath the jumper" and then you just decided to show EVERYONE.. love that old school type shirt.
As a Benfica fan its sad to see so many finals lost, its sad to be present on the last 2 finals lost and another 2 with youth league. Sadly we only have team to compete in europe league, because we have the problem with clubs with money steal our best players and its difficult to form a good team, we have to develop new players again to compete. Thanks for the video and the support, nice jersey ;)
We got robbed in the final vs Sevilla. In that year they also tried to get us knocked out against juvenile making us finish the game with 9 players on the field. Our CB was ready to get back on the field and the refs kept him out until the final whistle. Then in the final Moreno recklessly slide tackled sulejmani leaving him with a concussion and didn’t even get a yellow card.
You should do a video on Cruz Azul, their present situation is similar to Racing and Benfica's situation when they were "cursed". They've choked on so many finals and I think you would find their history very interesting as they're one of Mexico's biggest teams.
@@scorpiusjoecrux2039 Well I don't know much about it either, just what @Felix Platt said about it. IT was a long a long ago and it broke up pretty soon after his birth.
That curse is a myth, because what Bela Gutman realy said after win the cup two times with Benfica was that "any portuguese team will ever be able to win the champions cup again" , and he was wrong, because FC Porto as already win that competition twice.
Today 27/02/2020 Benfica is eliminated from the Europa League after losing an advantage of 3-1 against the Shakhtar Donetsk. So...is just 41 more years. Be patient Benfica fans.
you forgot to mention that Béla Guttmann came back after the so called curse and trained Benfica for less then a year in the season 1965-1966 after leaving with the curse 1959-1962 Cheers
My Grandmother told me many times that story... She told me that Bella Guttman asked Benfica Direction to build a statue to his honor, but the direction denied it. That statue was finally built in 2014, before the final against Sevilla.
As a Benfica Fan I can say that it’s not a curse, we just don’t play well enough for a European Competition but even if we won’t win in the next 50years I’m still a proud Fan an will never give up Hope❤️
It's not like Benfica lucked into being the European Finals every time and they were the underdog side...well,apart from the final against Chelsea. Benfica played good,sometimes even great,in the Finals,always a momentary lapse costing them the trophy so...yeah,that's a fucking curse.
I am a Benfica ambassador a member Benfica DNA runs in every pore, my great gran dad helped found the club, my dad knew bela guttman and swore blind the curse was not true. our youth team last year broke th "Curse"
@@SelamiSahino like I said no curse........the curse is ..................we go into every European final with the "curse" on our back and the heavy legacy of Eusebio and co .......like I said my father swore blind to me the "Curse" was fiction
Benfica also made a statue of Gutman in their stadium a few days before the last Europa League final to try to break the curse, but yeah nope. As a Benfica fan I'm now more or less used to the idea I'll never see them win in Europe ever.
He didn't say 100 years. He said "Without me Benfica will never be european champion again, and not even in 100 years a portuguese club will win two european cups in a row". It's much worse... :(. And in fact Porto won two champions leagues but not in two consecutive years. Now the other competitions... he never said anything about that :)
Why hate him tho? The owners at the time were the ones who really cursed your club. How could someone be stupid enough to not give a pay rise to a manager who won back-to-back European Cups...🤦♂️
Honestly, as a Sporting fan, I kinda feel bad for you benfiquistas. In both EL final matches you were the better team and it just didn't go your way. While the Salt was just too good the following day(and It was very good tbh), I always felt like that team coud have won everything it played in. SL
Irebami Kolapo damnn 😂 as a fanatic benfiquista, i can say that this is true af, as much as it hurts to admit it... we’re on the same bottlers level as liverpool in the PL
Do Cruz Azul they've lost many league finals , Copa Libertadores , and CONCACAF CL's. Although they already won 2 Copa MX & a CONCACAF it took them more than 16 years to win a cup.
05:47 to 06:14 - childhood trauma right there hehehe . I was gutted - despite being quite young (6yo in 1988 and 8yo in 1990). I don't know which loss was harder to take. Oh well... Viva o Benfica!!!

I think Bela Guttman was Austro-Hungarian. Maybe that's why he was buried in Vienna. Help me out bro... Tell me a little about Austria-Hungary...
@@scorpiusjoecrux2039 You're correct. He was born in Budapest in 1899 while Austria- Hungary still existed but it broke up after WW1.
@@scorpiusjoecrux2039 Well I don't know much about it either, just what @Felix Platt said about it. IT was a long a long ago and it broke up pretty soon after his birth.
Happy halloween Adrian/everyone!
That curse is a myth, because what Bela Gutman realy said after win the cup two times with Benfica was that "any portuguese team will ever be able to win the champions cup again" , and he was wrong, because FC Porto as already win that competition twice.
Today 27/02/2020 Benfica is eliminated from the Europa League after losing an advantage of 3-1 against the Shakhtar Donetsk.
So...is just 41 more years. Be patient Benfica fans.
The more real the curse feels, the bigger of a weight it becomes on the Benfica players, that's why they've got 10 lost finals
new sub from another Benfica fan. very informative video
you forgot to mention that Béla Guttmann came back after the so called curse and trained Benfica for less then a year in the season 1965-1966 after leaving with the curse 1959-1962 Cheers
Rosell Bartomeu and Valverde the biggest curses of them all. Btw love this content!!
My Grandmother told me many times that story... She told me that Bella Guttman asked Benfica Direction to build a statue to his honor, but the direction denied it. That statue was finally built in 2014, before the final against Sevilla.
love the video.. more 100 years pls
Good. That you are also benfica fan. Cheers.
Sounds like a job for toad magic
And may God have him. Rest in peace Guttman, may Benfica never win any European Cup again
As a Benfica Fan I can say that it’s not a curse, we just don’t play well enough for a European Competition but even if we won’t win in the next 50years I’m still a proud Fan an will never give up Hope❤️
Good video with good music, What is the name of this tune? Thank you and look forward to your reply! Aammer Ahmed.
It's not like Benfica lucked into being the European Finals every time and they were the underdog side...well,apart from the final against Chelsea. Benfica played good,sometimes even great,in the Finals,always a momentary lapse costing them the trophy so...yeah,that's a fucking curse.
The biggest football curse out there good video adrian mana joao will be proud
I am a Benfica ambassador a member Benfica DNA runs in every pore, my great gran dad helped found the club, my dad knew bela guttman and swore blind the curse was not true. our youth team last year broke th "Curse"
I think guttman means the 1st team
@@SelamiSahino like I said no curse........the curse is ..................we go into every European final with the "curse" on our back and the heavy legacy of Eusebio and co .......like I said my father swore blind to me the "Curse" was fiction
Great video!
All the curses I have seen in football so far were real
Benfica also made a statue of Gutman in their stadium a few days before the last Europa League final to try to break the curse, but yeah nope. As a Benfica fan I'm now more or less used to the idea I'll never see them win in Europe ever.
great vid man... Benfica foreva!
abraço :-D
Being a benfica fan i fuckin love and hate this guy at the same time....he gave us 2 ucl trophies at the end of the day right
O Benfica é incomparável. ..❤❤❤
It is enough that it is the first club to win the Champions League after Real Madrid 😍
And now in 2022, Benfica won the Youth League.
You did a great job. Is amazing the amount of disinformation about this subject we have in Portugal. Thank you for your work.
Do Cruz Azul next. like 10 finals because of a curse in 97
That 2012 final vs Chelsea was a heartbreaker
Adrien please mention also that Mario Coluna was Mozambican same as Eusebio.
BENFICA FOREVER GREAT...at 115 Years!
He didn't say 100 years. He said "Without me Benfica will never be european champion again, and not even in 100 years a portuguese club will win two european cups in a row". It's much worse... :(. And in fact Porto won two champions leagues but not in two consecutive years. Now the other competitions... he never said anything about that :)
As a Benfiquista I LOVE AND HATE this guy.
Why hate him tho? The owners at the time were the ones who really cursed your club. How could someone be stupid enough to not give a pay rise to a manager who won back-to-back European Cups...🤦♂️
Honestly, as a Sporting fan, I kinda feel bad for you benfiquistas. In both EL final matches you were the better team and it just didn't go your way.
While the Salt was just too good the following day(and It was very good tbh), I always felt like that team coud have won everything it played in. SL
Thank´s for your honesty man i also as a Benfica feel sorry for sporting and Sportinguistas soo many years not wining the championship
look at the positive side. we didnt lost in our home stadium...
When you ask for PORTO VS BENEFica roots but you get this
Outstanding move
You finally released it 😂😂😂😂😂.. bottlers FC!
Irebami Kolapo damnn 😂 as a fanatic benfiquista, i can say that this is true af, as much as it hurts to admit it... we’re on the same bottlers level as liverpool in the PL
Is benfica not Totenham
Do Cruz Azul they've lost many league finals , Copa Libertadores , and CONCACAF CL's. Although they already won 2 Copa MX & a CONCACAF it took them more than 16 years to win a cup.
05:47 to 06:14 - childhood trauma right there hehehe . I was gutted - despite being quite young (6yo in 1988 and 8yo in 1990). I don't know which loss was harder to take. Oh well... Viva o Benfica!!!
Adrien why do you like Benfica??? I'm curious
BTW do a video about Atleti's inability to win the Champions league
Please make a video on Hungarian football
Theres a portuguese movie called "ruth" thtat talks about how Eusebio went to Benfica...
is it about benfica stealing eusebio from sporting?
@@diovo1127 I think it is.
@@diovo1127 benfica never stole Eusébio...
My Glorioso Benfica 😢😁🔴⚪
Do Cruz Azul next 😂 sure they’ve won concacaf champions league and copa mx but they’ve lost so many league finals
It’s a curse 100% I refuse to believe Eusebio ever choked or bottled it😌
The 2014 europe league final was a fucking steal, so unfair that final
Tbh ive been a Benfiquista since a baby and never knew that wow
Explain please why FC Porto is the biggest Portuguese club playing in Europe?
Seferovic confirmed it
It's a case of "Bella Ciao"
You didn't mention Sporting brought Eusébio from Mozambique and Benfica stole him away.
Pay rise? ?
Eugene Crab has join the chat...
Where is that Hungarian league video?
Seja como for, sou Benfica até morrer
That throwback shirt is 🔥
