With two games left in Portugal’s top flight, Jose Mourinho’s Benfica could join the list of ‘invincibles’ to have gone an entire season without losing.
Remarkably, however, that achievement will not be enough to deliver the club’s 39th league title.
Porto have already been crowned champions after moving nine points clear of second-placed Benfica at the weekend.
Under the presidency of former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas, Porto have lost just one of their 32 games this term.
While Benfica have not lost any, they have had 10 draws – six more than the champions.
