Chilean coach Fernando Riera succeeded the famous Bela Guttmann this season, and had a mixed season compared to the high standards of Benfica in the early 1960s. The champion title at Portugal was won with brio thanks to the goals of striker Torres, who helped Benfica to 23 wins and just one defeat in 26 league matches. However, Ta?a's hopes of Portugal were dashed by Sporting Lisbon in the semi-finals and, more importantly, the Lisbon giants failed to win their third consecutive European Cup, losing the final at Wembley to Milan.
