Benfica competed in the Campeonato da Liga and in the Campeonato de Portugal. Benfica entered the season aiming to win its first league title while defending the Campeonato de Portugal and reclaiming the Campeonato de Lisboa. Under manager Vítor Gonçalves, the team performed strongly throughout the regional and national competitions, ultimately winning the Campeonato da Liga after a decisive victory over Sporting in April. In the Campeonato de Portugal, Benfica reached the semi-finals but were eliminated by Belenenses, falling short of securing what would have been the first national double. Season summary Benfica entered the season seeking to win its first league title, defend the Campeonato de Portugal title it had secured the previous year, and reclaim the Campeonato de Lisboa. Manager Vítor Gonçalves remained in charge for his second season. During the off-season, Cândido Tavares and Raul Baptista joined the squad, while Tamanqueiro left the club. Before beginning the Campeonato de Lisboa, Benfica played six preparation matches, recording four wins, one draw and one loss.
