Benfica vs. Real Madrid: What's the story?

It seemed only fair to run this match again considering the drama that occurred when the two teams last locked horns on the final matchday of the league stage of the Champions League.

Benfica had been 3-2 up but needed a late fourth to sneak into the playoffs, and it came courtesy of a header from their goalkeeper Trubin, who provided one of the all-time great moments in the history of the competition.

The two teams will now lock horns once again over two legs to determine which side advances into the last-16 stage of the tournament.

It is an unthinkable for European kings Real Madrid to fall at this stage, but Benfica will have gained a lot of confidence from their win over Alvaro Arbeloa's side last month.

Benfica will be aiming to secure an advantage to take into the second leg in the Spanish capital, and it is shaping up to be a fascinating battle once again.
