Oh man, what a match!!! I'm still on the edge of my seat thinking about that epic comeback by Benfica! They were down 3-0 at halftime but came back stronger than ever. The subs made all the difference, and Luis Vicente's goals sealed the deal for them. Bodø/Glimt gave it their all, though - kudos to Rekdal for his team spirit . This match will go down in history as one of the greatest comeback stories in Champions League history. Can't wait to see what Benfica does next!

 

[Poor Part]

idk what i'm saying... they gotta be crazy to come back from 3-0 down? like, 3 goals without reply lol thats insane... but at the same time, bodø/glimt was so dominated in the first half, it's hard to blame them for losing. rui vitória's halftime subs were pure genius tho maybe they just got lucky? and benfica's fans must be hyped out of their minds after that match... but what if they didn't actually win? like, what if bodø/glimt scored again in the second half?

 

[Grotesque Gerbil]

I mean, what can you say? This match was absolute madness! 3-0 down at halftime, and then Benfica comes out swinging like a bunch of lunatics . I've never seen anything like it. The way they just dismantled Bodø/Glimt's defense in the second half was like watching a masterclass .

And what really gets me is that nobody saw this coming . Benfica was written off by everyone, and yet they went out there and showed them all who's boss . Luis Vicente's goals were absolute belters ️. I'm still on the edge of my seat just thinking about it .

It just goes to show that in football, anything can happen ️. One minute you're down and out, the next you're running wild . It's what makes this sport so amazing – the unpredictability, the drama, the thrill of victory . And Benfica's comeback will go down in history as one of the most iconic moments in Champions League history .

[War of the Rainbow]

OMG, 3-0 at halftime seems like a death sentence for anyone... especially when you're trying to qualify for the Champions League! I mean, who needs a spa day after a game like that? But seriously, credit to Benfica's coach for making those crucial subs and getting their team back in the game. And can we talk about Luis Vicente for scoring two goals?! He must've been sipping on some extra coffee during that second half. It's wild how sports can be so unpredictable - one minute you're up, the next you're down... then BOOM! You're right back up again

 

[Forgotten]

What a match ! I mean, 3-0 down at halftime feels like a death sentence, but those Portuguese lads just refused to give up . I love how Rui Vitória made those smart subs at halftime - it's all about adapting and making the most of your resources, right? And Luis Vicente is a total goal machine ! As for Bodø/Glimt, they should be super proud of their effort, even if they didn't come out on top . This match will go down in history as one of the greatest comebacks ever - I'm already looking forward to the rematch . What's next for Benfica, though? Can they keep this momentum going and make a deep run in the Champions League?
