Bruno Lage hits remarkable milestone, joins Benfica legends | OneFootball

Bruno Lage has his Benfica among the great teams in the Club's history in terms of goals scored. The subject even came up in the press conference previewing the reception to Tondela, a match that will take place at the Estádio da Luz. Better than the Portuguese coach, only a few notable names from the 121 years of Benfica's life.

According to information advanced by the newspaper O Jogo, the current coach of the eagles recorded two of the six most scoring records of the Club. The first came in his first season in command of the main squad, in 2018/19, with 140 goals, and in the last season with 145 goals scored.

In this impressive record, only four other names have made Benfica as scoring or more than Bruno Lage. These were the cases of János Biri with 146 goals in 1944/45 and 140 in 1946/47; Béla Guttman with 144 in 1960/61 and 145 in 1961/62; Lajos Czeizler with 169 in 1963/64 and Elek Schwartz with 157 in 1964/65.

It's worth remembering that the start of the season and the number of goals pointed out by the red formation was a topic of conversation in the preview conference for the game with Tondela: "Do you remember the last season when Benfica started like this? With four games, four wins and zero goals conceded? It's the first time, that's why you don't remember. This group of players is doing this without having a vacation, without a pre-season".

"Four wins without conceding goals, five in a row without conceding goals and won the Super Cup. If you want to look at the number of goals... If you look at 60, 70 years, in two seasons there is a Portuguese coach", concluded Bruno Lage on this topic.
