The 2020–21 Sport Lisboa e Benfica season was the club's 117th season in existence and its 87th consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football. This season, Benfica invested €105 million amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a record investment in Portuguese football.[1] Domestically, Benfica lost the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira match, were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Taça da Liga, finished third in the Primeira Liga – their worst league position since 2008–09[2] – and lost a Taça de Portugal final for a second time in a row.[3] Internationally, Benfica were eliminated in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and in the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League, respectively. The season started on 18 September 2020 and concluded on 23 May 2021. Considered a failed, disastrous season,[4][5][6] it was the first time Benfica ended trophyless since 2012–13.[3]
