Notes:
Home shirt as worn by SL Benfica during the 2020-21 season, a campaign that saw the team challenging for the Primeira Liga title and competing in both the UEFA Champions League and domestic cup competitions. The 2020-21 season was a transitional year for the club, with several new faces added to the squad and significant changes in the team’s dynamics.
The shirt is a symbol of Benfica’s efforts to reclaim the Primeira Liga title after a challenging 2019-20 season. Under the guidance of coach Jorge Jesus, Benfica looked to reassert themselves as the dominant force in Portuguese football. Key players like Pizzi, who was instrumental in midfield, and Darwin Núñez, who made an immediate impact with his goalscoring ability, were crucial for the team's successes.
Benfica’s 2020-21 season was highlighted by impressive wins in domestic competitions. One of the standout moments came with their 2-0 victory over rivals Sporting CP on October 25, 2020. This victory reaffirmed Benfica's title aspirations early in the season. The shirt was worn during key matches such as their 4-0 victory over Moreirense, with Núñez scoring a brace, and their 3-0 win over Boavista, where Pizzi demonstrated his leadership on the field with crucial assists.
Benfica also competed in the UEFA Champions League group stage, where they faced some of Europe’s top teams. The shirt represents Benfica’s ambition to challenge at the highest level, despite ultimately falling short of qualifying for the knockout stages.
The 2020-21 shirt, designed by Adidas, features a traditional red with white and black accents, paying homage to the club’s rich history while embracing a modern aesthetic. It reflects Benfica’s relentless pursuit of success in both domestic and European football.
