Guttmann's Benfica. Eusébio as the thunder, Coluna as the brain, and a European Cup retained in Amsterdam.
If you came to beat a particular ghost, Real Madrid 2016/17 is the default other shirt.
Tags on the page — star forwards, vertical attack, wide play — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.

The idea
Width 86: both touchlines in play. Attack 94 is the loud number. Possession sits at 54, not a religion.
