5-0 in a game! Mourinho is very proud: 5 games unbeaten in the Portuguese Super League + 1 point behind the top spot, fighting for the championship with all his strength

On October 26, in the 9th round of the Portuguese Super League, Benfica played against Aroka at home. There was no suspense in the game. In the end, Mourinho's team defeated the opponent 5-0 at home, completely clearing the haze of the previous Champions League defeat.

After Mourinho took office, he led the team to play two Champions League games, but lost to Chelsea and Newcastle respectively in away games, which also made Mourinho extremely depressed. After finally returning to the Champions League, they were beaten by the top two in the Premier League and were unable to fight back. If there is another problem in the Portuguese Super League, Mourinho will be questioned.

Fortunately, the game went very smoothly. Benfica attacked at the beginning. Their pressing attack put great pressure on the Arouca players. They fouled in the 9th and 22nd minutes and scored points. Pavlidis took two free throws and scored, laying the foundation for the team's victory in this game.

After that, Benfica continued to attack wildly. Otamendi scored with a header before half-time, expanding the team's advantage. In the second half, Benfica did not relax. Pavlidis and Ivanovic scored consecutively, and finally locked the score at 5-0. This was also the game with the largest score advantage for Benfica in the Portuguese Super League this season. Their offense was full of enthusiasm and quite enjoyable.

This big victory also made Mourinho feel proud on the sidelines. He finally saved some face from losing in the Champions League. Including this game, after Mourinho took charge, he led the team to play 5 league games, resulting in 3 wins and 2 draws and remained unbeaten (undefeated in 9 rounds of the season, the first 4 games were not led by Mourinho). This includes a draw with leader Porto as a guest in the last round. Judging from the process and results, Mourinho's performance in the Portuguese Super League can basically satisfy Benfica's senior management and fans.

As of now, Benfica has risen to second place with one more game, only 1 point behind Porto at the top. This season, Mourinho's main task is to lead the team to compete for the Portuguese Super League championship. With less than one-third of the schedule now, Benfica is getting better. If they can continue to maintain their form, I believe they have a chance to compete for the Portuguese Super League championship.

In the Portuguese Super League, the traditional top three have a huge strength advantage. Therefore, whether they are upset against mid-to-lower teams will have a major impact on the championship process. Previously, Benfica was tied with Rio Ave at home and lost 2 points in vain, which put Mourinho under great pressure. Fortunately, after a month of adapting, he has basically taken control of the team. Next, I believe Benfica will madly grab points and strive to reach the top of the Portuguese Super League as soon as possible.

Compared with the Portuguese Super League, which is still expected to win the championship, Benfica's prospects in the Champions League are very bleak. They lost all the first three rounds and failed to score a single point. It is likely that they will not reach the play-offs in the end. However, an early exit from the Champions League is not necessarily a bad thing for Benfica. They do not have the strength to win the championship. With no hope of qualifying, they focus on the Portuguese Super League and maybe they can win a championship in the end!
