00:00THE CHAMPIONS!
00:30THE CHAMPIONS!
01:00THE CHAMPIONS!
01:31Nice change of pace by Kavlidis, who started well.
01:34Let's go, Lu.
01:42And Asnes has the shot, and it's quite a decent strike as well.
01:50Concentrating on hitting the target rather than bursting the back of the net.
02:00Starting to get a little bit of a hold on it, Benfica.
02:04And a chance for...
02:08The goalscorer has taken it very well, Aktuoglu.
02:13He's in a rich vein of form, and he's put it past Oblak.
02:17The closing of the transfer window has shown what a shrewd deal it was,
02:22and how good it was for Benfica that they got it across the line.
02:27Kerem Aktuoglu.
02:291-0.
02:32An Atletico trail.
02:34Look at the room he's got.
02:36Llorente wasn't tucking around.
02:38Pizzo was too centre.
02:45And a good chance, and very well executed.
02:48On the scoreline, there's a goal in it.
02:50On the home side.
02:52Lino.
02:58Oh, that's bounced out.
03:00I don't think it was intended for the back of the net.
03:03Lino just hoisting it towards the far post,
03:07and finding himself hitting the crossbar.
03:14That must have been...
03:15He'd never have had the legs to do it from the very 36th.
03:19It's a bit of a token gesture, really.
03:25Back come Atleti, I think.
03:27Benfica just playing for half-time here to get in with their lead intact.
03:32Not too much of a hurry to mount a counter-attack,
03:35or maybe they will, because it's a quick throw-in.
03:37Again, Atletico Madrid caught off guard, and here's Demi Reah.
03:41Surely not another one.
03:43Well, it's just wide from Pavlidis.
03:47And I think Atletico Madrid forgot that for a moment.
03:51It's a bit fortunate how it reached Pavlidis.
03:53It was spinny.
03:54It may be a big miss in the context of the first half
03:57in which Benfica have led the way.
04:01They've got a goal after 13 minutes.
04:07Demi Reah.
04:08Berkshire might have a shot here.
04:10And it's deflected, but deflected kindly.
04:13Juliano Black.
04:14He did have four years with Benfica.
04:17He only played in one of those seasons.
04:19He was a young man then.
04:25A great servant.
04:27Atletico are one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
04:29He might be tested again here.
04:31That's Harry Potter.
04:33Pavlidis trying to muscle his way through.
04:36Two players and the fans shouting at the referee.
04:39He was unmoved, he was in a good position.
04:41He'd hardly been preparing with play.
04:44Pavlidis had stayed down after this.
04:49He might have been in the goalkeeper's eyeline.
04:51It could have flashed into the net.
04:53It took three to stop him.
04:57A bulldozer approach.
05:02Is he going to go and have a look?
05:05Look.
05:11Concern.
05:12Not just on Gallagher's faces,
05:14but all those connected with Atletico.
05:19Gallagher was one of the three.
05:30It's left to Real themselves.
05:32You'd think they'd go with the on-field decision,
05:34but they've asked the referee to look at it,
05:36maybe to review it.
05:38Usually, when this happens,
05:41it leads to...
05:45the penalty being given.
05:46There it is.
05:48Huge cheers
05:50on that bulldozing approach
05:53from Pavlidis.
05:59Beat Atleti with Real Madrid.
06:02And he sends Odblak the wrong way,
06:05and it's 2-0.
06:07Di Maria does the job.
06:16Holding his nerve, as you'd expect him to do.
06:19Angel Di Maria.
06:23Great delight.
06:24First goal.
06:26Paul's given back to them.
06:27They will be pressing higher, surely, now.
06:30And that might leave them victim to the counter-attack.
06:33And Di Maria is away again.
06:35Pavlidis is in the middle.
06:37Di Maria going all the way.
06:40And in the end, he couldn't quite fashion a shot of any mischief.
06:43It was one that...
06:46Odblak kept his nerve
06:48and was able to parry
06:50without having to perform real heroics.
06:52But that's the kind of situation
06:54that Atleti are going to have to
06:56now risk and reward
06:57if they're going to find a way to put pressure on.
06:59But they're giving the ball away again.
07:03Di Maria's waiting in the middle.
07:09Just over 15 minutes to go.
07:11It's a very good corner,
07:13and it's led to goal at number three
07:16from Alexander Barth.
07:20So the set-pieces work again,
07:22and he's back in business with a goal.
07:29Sunday, I might even say,
07:31not enough preparation time
07:33because this is the way
07:35Benfica have been performing
07:37under Bruno Large.
07:45Just drops for Barth.
07:49And there's yet another headed goal
07:52on the list for Benfica this season.
08:00It's all over Barth.
08:01They're shouting, really.
08:02Preparation time remaining.
08:09Gareth Bale scoring a very good goal
08:11for Real in that game, in this ground.
08:16Di Maria.
08:17Full-time is Rollhiser.
08:19And the goal is just passed.
08:23Could be in again here.
08:25Amdouni is going to try and do it himself.
08:28He's certainly trying to do it.
08:30He's still doing it.
08:31There was a clip there.
08:32It looked as though he might well have been.
08:34And the referee...
08:38He's surely going to give it.
08:42It was a clear trip.
08:47He didn't think he saw it the first time,
08:49but it looked as though
08:50they'd take it now, or now, or now.
08:53And then he was taken down.
08:59Ray Nildo training to get out of the way,
09:03but there's clear contact.
09:09And incredibly,
09:11this to make it 4-0.
09:14And, emphatically, it is 4-0.
09:17It's 4-0.
09:18You can't stop those.
09:23What a night for Benfica.
09:28...or two to give it,
09:30and even in slow motion, that rules it.
09:36We're into five added minutes.
09:39Time for a fifth goal.
09:41Not sure that they'll be up the most in their minds,
09:44but why not?
09:46They've got five here on Sunday.
09:49And it could be that he misses his kick.
09:52And Besta has the shot.
09:54Good save by Oblak.
09:55Comes out to Rongeiser.
09:57And off the bar.
09:59The flag was up, I think.
10:02Newcomers...
10:04Sure, you could say Conor Gallagher is very much a Simeone type player.
10:10Trying to get a bit more of the beautiful game
10:14into what is a very efficient game
10:17and a style that everybody respected.
10:19And it's very hard to play against.
10:21And not so hard to play against at the moment, are they?
10:23And here's Sam Tooney.
10:25He's dragged it wide.
10:29Certainly capable.
10:32And it was Sam Tooney.
10:33Again, he couldn't have had three or four, really.
10:38And...
10:39Oblak.
10:40Oblak.
10:42And a hang-on to the ball to the referee.
10:44Blows the final whistle and puts Atletico Madrid out of their misery.
10:47But let's praise Benfica.
10:49They certainly deserve it.
10:51Their eagles were soaring tonight.
