Benfica and Arsenal have only met twice in European competitions and at the same time, in 1991/92.
In the first leg of the second round of the European Cup, red and gunners they attracted Luz to a ball, with goals from Isaías, in the 15 minutes, and Kevin Campbell, two minutes later. However, for the return leg at Highbury, one of the most memorable nights in the embodied history of Europe was saved, with a 3-1 victory for the Portuguese. Colin Pates still advanced the Londoners in the 20th minute, but Isaías, with an encore, in the 36th and 107th, and Kulkov, in the 100th, returned, in extra time, to the adverse result.
In total, Benfica played 36 matches against English teams in continental competitions. He won 11, tied six and lost 19. A negative balance, therefore.
