JUST IN: PEP GUARDIOLA THANKS JOSE MOURINHO AFTER WILD NIGHT OF EUROPEAN DRAMA
Pep Guardiola thanks Jose Mourinho as Benfica’s last-gasp winner against Real Madrid sends City straight into the Last-16.
Pep Guardiola had a smile on his face and a message for Jose Mourinho after his old rival did him a huge favour, helping Manchester City sneak into the Champions League knockout rounds.
City took care of their own business, beating Galatasaray 2-0 at the Etihad. Haaland and Cherki got the goals, but the real drama was happening elsewhere. City’s spot in the last eight still hung in the balance because Real Madrid needed to equalise against Benfica. If they had, Guardiola’s squad would have been bumped into the play-offs instead.
That’s when Benfica’s goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, pulled off something wild. He left his box, charged forward for a late free kick, and scored a brilliant goal. Benfica won 4-2. That goal kept Benfica alive in the competition—and, as it turned out, saved City too.
Guardiola admitted he and his players were glued to the screen in the dressing room, completely confused when they saw Trubin running up for that last free kick. “We were all in there, watching, and none of us realised Benfica still needed a goal to qualify,” Guardiola said. “So when their keeper went up, we’re all thinking, ‘What are you doing?’ But Jose knew. It was a smart move. Finishing in the top eight, with how tough the Champions League has become, feels really good for us. Now we can focus on being at our best by March.”
Bernardo Silva didn’t hide how relieved he felt. Skipping those extra play-off games really matters, especially when you’re chasing a quadruple. “A bit of drama, but we did it. We’re very happy because we avoid two more matches,” he said. “With all the injuries we’ve got and the crazy schedule, having those two weeks free to rest, get players back, and focus on the other competitions is huge for us.”
As for Mourinho, he looked proud after Benfica’s wild finish. He’s won this tournament twice before, and he believed his side deserved to stay in. “That was a fantastic goal, a historic moment—almost blew the roof off the stadium,” Mourinho said. “Honestly, for Benfica to beat Real Madrid, that’s massive.”
LEAGUE UPDATE: MAN UNITED’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HOPES BOOSTED BY COEFFICIENT POINTS SURGE
Manchester United move into fourth place as England's dominant UEFA coefficient makes a fifth Champions League spot almost certain.
Manchester United just got a real shot in the arm for their Champions League hopes this season. After knocking off Manchester City and Arsenal in back-to-back games, they’ve climbed into fourth place in the Premier League. It’s been a struggle for United to make the Champions League in recent years—their last run was in the 2023/24 season.
These days, finishing in the top four isn’t always enough for Premier League teams. UEFA now hands out extra spots, and it all depends on how clubs from each country perform across the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
So, how does it work? UEFA takes each league’s overall coefficient score—basically, a measure of how well their teams do in Europe—and divides it by the number of clubs they have in these competitions.
This season, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle all joined the European fight. Out of those six, only Newcastle had to go through the play-offs; the rest sailed straight into the knockouts.
Now that the Champions League group stage is done, you can really see which countries are in line for those bonus spots next year. Right now, England is out in front with 180,625 points. Germany follows with 107,000. Portugal sits in third with 14,700, and Spain is just behind on 14,375.
Here’s the key thing: the two countries whose teams rack up the best results across all three competitions this season each get a European Performance Spot—an extra Champions League place.
With England leading the pack, even a fifth-place finish in the Premier League could send United back into the Champions League instead of the Europa League. Newcastle took advantage of this last season.
If United hold onto fourth, they’re in. But there’s still a lot of football left. Interim boss Michael Carrick isn’t letting anyone get ahead of themselves—he’s already told his players to stay sharp.
Next up, United face Fulham at Old Trafford. They'll be chasing a third straight win and looking to keep Carrick’s perfect record going since he stepped in for Darren Fletcher.
JOSE MOURINHO’S REVENGE: HOW BENFICA’S 4-2 MASTERCLASS SENT REAL MADRID TO THE PLAYOFF ROUND
Jose Mourinho’s Benfica pull off a miracle! Keeper Trubin's late header knocks out Marseille and sends Real Madrid to the playoffs.
Benfica stunned Real Madrid 4-2, a wild finish that sends both clubs into the Champions League playoffs, while Madrid misses out on the top eight.
Honestly, nobody saw this coming. Benfica’s goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, pulled off the unthinkable: he charged up the pitch in the 98th minute and smashed home a header, making it 4-2. That last-gasp goal kept Benfica’s Champions League hopes alive and slammed the door on Real’s automatic spot in the last 16.
The whole scene at the Stadium of Light was electric. Benfica’s players, their fans, even Jose Mourinho—who used to manage Real—lost their minds as Trubin’s goal hit the net. Just seconds earlier, Benfica were staring at elimination, up 3-2 but still short on goal difference. Trubin’s heroics changed everything.
For real, it was heartbreak. They thought 15 points from eight games would be enough to crack the top eight, but it wasn’t. To make things worse, they finished with only nine men—Raúl Asensio and Rodrygo both saw red.
The match itself was a roller coaster. Andreas Schjelderup bagged two goals for Benfica, Vangelis Pavlidis nailed a penalty, and Kylian Mbappe scored twice for Real in a game that never slowed down.
Benfica’s win knocked out Marseille, who lost 3-0 at Club Brugge. At one point, the big screen in Belgium congratulated both Brugge and Marseille for advancing, but Trubin’s late goal flipped the script.
Both Benfica and Real needed one more goal for different reasons as the clock ticked down. That’s what makes this competition so wild—a single moment, a single goal, and the whole table shifts.
Earlier, Benfica had two strong penalty shouts waved away. Then Real struck first after 30 minutes—Asencio’s cross found Mbappe at the back post. Six minutes later, Asencio slipped on the soggy pitch, Pavlidis pounced, and Schjelderup headed in the equaliser.
Right before halftime, Benfica got their penalty. Aurelien Tchouameni dragged down Nicolas Otamendi, and Pavlidis slammed it home. Schjelderup grabbed his second after the break, finishing off another Pavlidis assist to make it 3-1. Mbappe answered with his own second—his 36th of the season—keeping Real in it.
But Benfica still sat outside the top 24 as stoppage time ticked away. With almost the last kick, Fredrik Aursnes whipped in a free kick, and Trubin—yes, the goalkeeper—headed it in. Lisbon went wild, and Benfica pulled off a miracle.
