It involved Benfica competing in the Primeira Divisão and the Taça de Portugal. Benfica qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup by winning previous Portuguese Cup.Squad 1993/94 https://www.foradejogo.net/team.php?team=2&ano=1994&escalao=0&mode=S foradejogo.net It covers the period between 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994. The season was marked by the events in his pre-season, as the club only made three signings. More importantly, however, the club lost regular starter Paulo Sousa and common substitute António Pacheco to Sporting CP due to unpaid salaries. Expectations around Benfica were not high, as Sporting and Porto were deemed the main contenders. After a poor start, however, a six-game winning streak granted them the top position in the league table. After going 15 league games unbeaten, a loss in April at Salgueiros and a draw at home against Estrela da Amadora made it necessary to win at the Estádio José Alvalade to retain their first-place position; a hat-trick from João Pinto in a 6–3 win put the title only six points away. On 25 May, a win over Gil Vicente ended the title race, with the club winning a record 30th league title. Season summary The season that celebrated its 90th anniversary was also one of the club most tumultuous periods in recent history. In the summer, Paulo Sousa, João Pinto and António Pacheco unilaterally terminated their contracts, claiming unpaid salaries. While Pinto was successfully resigned with a pay increase, both Sousa and Pacheco never went back on their decision, subsequently moving to Lisbon rivals Sporting CP. Sousa had been a frequent starter for Benfica, playing 35 games in the previous season and having joined the club as a 16-year-old.Tovar 2012 523 Pacheco was utilized more as a substitute, but had still amassed over 160 league games for Benfica.Tovar 2012 738 The players' "betrayal" and the increase in tension between the old rivals was labelled "Hot Summer of 1993", a clever throwback to the troubled times of the PREC, the post revolution in 1975.Verão Quente... de 1993!

João Pinto had one of his best performances with Benfica, scoring a hat-trick that effectively ended the title race in his club's favour.Tovar 2012 524 Only a few days later, away against Braga, the club secured its 30th league title, celebrating with the fans at the sold out Estádio Primeiro de Maio.Tovar 2012 528Época 1993/94 1993/94 Season http://gloria-vermelha.blogspot.pt/2005/06/poca-199394-desempenhocampeonato-da-1.html Glória Vermelha pt 3 September 2015 Carlos Mozer, an undisputed starter during the season, narrated the events in the club almanac: "We won the title with great difficulty, because Sporting had a young but good team, while Porto had the experience. At Benfica, our squad was strong. There were veterans like William, Veloso and Isaías, that taught the younger ones, like Rui Costa or João Pinto; who still had the will and pace to run all game. The coach was Toni, who I knew back from 1989. Benfica did not start well, and amassed three straight draws. Then he started winning in a awful manner. We did not play well, but we were winning games, until the notorious game in Alvalade, the 6–3. Everybody said that Sporting was going to win, because they had a younger team, and we were older; so we would not endure the difficult terrain. When everything looked like to be on their favour; we, with great calm and experience, reversed the game with a great performance from João Pinto. In that season, I also remember the campaign in the Cup Winners' Cup. We reach the semi-finals, after that crazy 4–4 in Leverkusen. We were drawn against Parma, and the Italians were always difficult. We won in the Estádio da Luz, but there, in Italy; I was sent-off early, on the 20th minute, with a double yellow. The first was fair, the second was not. If with eleven players was already hard, with one less, it was even harder."Tovar 2012 524 Competitions #CCFFCC Win 1px solid #AAAAAA #FFFFCC Draw 1px solid #AAAAAA #FFCCCC Loss 1px solid #AAAAAA #CCCCCC Postponed 1px solid #AAAAAA Overall record Competition First match Last match RecordGWDLGFGAGDWin %Source Primeira Divisão 22 August 1993 2 June 1994 34 23 8 3 73 25 yes Tovar 2012 531 Taça de Portugal 5 December 1993 30 January 1994 3 2 0 1 10 3 yes Tovar 2012 531 Cup Winners' Cup 15 September 1993 13 April 1994 8 4 3 1 15 10 yes Tovar 2012 531 Supertaça 11 August 1993 15 August 1993 2 1 0 1 1 1 yes Tovar 2012 531 Total 47 30 11 6 99 39 yes Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira 1993 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira First leg 11 August 1993 Benfica 1–0 November 2025 Porto Águas 84 Estádio da Luz, Lisbon Carlos Valente (Setúbal) w Second leg 15 August 1993 Porto 1–0 November 2025 Benfica Vinha 84 Mozer 2 42 50 Estádio das Antas, Porto Fortunato Azevedo (Braga) L Primeira Divisão 1993–94 Primeira Divisão League table BEN Results by round table b Round Ground A/H/A/H/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/H/A/H/A/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A/H/A Result D/D/D/W/W/W/W/W/W/L/W/W/W/W/D/W/W/W/W/W/D/D/W/W/W/L/W/W/D/W/W/W/D/L Position 7/7/8/4/3/3/3/2/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1 Home Away green2 Win yellow2 Draw red2 Loss 1st 2nd 3rd red1 ForaDeJogo Matches 1 22 August 1993 20:30 Porto 3–3 https://www.foradejogo.net/match.php?match=199415400010102 Benfica Vinha 8 Pereira 62 70 pen.
