What is at stake for Benfica and Real Madrid?

Benfica's knockout hopes were dealt a major blow by last Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Juventus, leaving them stuck on six points and two points away from the top 24.

As a result, Mourinho's side know they must beat Real Madrid to have any chance of progressing to the playoff stage.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are in a strong position to advance straight to the last 16 after winning five of their seven league phase matches (L2).

Alvaro Arbeloa's side head into the final matchday with a two-point cushion to the teams sitting outside the top eight, including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City.
