Benfica's late heroics stun Real Madrid as Mourinho erupts in Lisbon

Match recap

Real Madrid endured a bitter night in Portugal as Benfica delivered a stunning 4-2 victory in the final group-stage clash of the UEFA Champions League.

Benfica’s goals came from Andreas Schjelderup with a brace, Vanligis Pavlidis, and goalkeeper Anatoly Trobin, who found the net with a spectacular late header at 90+8, while Kylian Mbappé struck twice for Real Madrid (30 and 58).

Trobin’s header came after Benfica earned a free-kick just outside the box, a moment of audacity that caught Madrid off guard as the ball flashed into the far corner.

Real Madrid were pushed back and, at one point, appeared to be playing with nine men as the clock wound down, allowing Benfica to surge forward with renewed belief.

Coach Jose Mourinho stole the show with a wild celebration, sprinting toward the stands and pointing at the fans as his team sealed a priceless win.

Benfica scorers: Schjelderup (36’, 45+5’), Pavlidis (54’) and Trobin (90+8’). Real Madrid scorers: Mbappé (30’, 58’).
