Benfica secured its first Portuguese league title in four years after defeating Santa Clara 3-0 on the final day of the season. The win means that Benfica has now claimed a record-extending 38th league title and its first since 2019. Their main title contenders, FC Porto, finished two points behind in second after defeating Guimaraes 3-0. Last year’s champions were hoping that Santa Clara could pull off a surprise victory at Benfica to provide them with a realistic shot at defending their title. The newly crowned champions will now look ahead to next season with optimism and confidence that they can continue their winning form to claim yet another league title.
