The 2004–05 European football season was the 101st season of Sport Lisboa e Benfica's existence and the club's 71st consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football. The season ran from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005; Benfica competed domestically in the Primeira Liga and the Taça de Portugal. The club also participated in the UEFA Champions League as a result of finishing second in the Primeira Liga in the previous season.

Manuel dos Santos and Azar Karadas became regular first-team fixtures. The most significant departure was that of Tiago, who had been a regular for the past two seasons. Because their second-place finish only granted a place in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, Benfica had to play Anderlecht for a place in the group stage. A 3–1 loss on aggregate led to relegation to the 2004–05 UEFA Cup. Between both legs, Benfica contested and lost the 2004 Supercup with Porto
.

Domestically, Benfica started the season with consecutive wins, rising to the top of the table by early October. After a home loss in the

Sporting CP
for the Portuguese Cup had an apparent positive effect on the players; their best period all season came as they regained first place and opened a six-point lead over the team in second place.

The league was unusually competitive; a mistake in early April caused Benfica to lose much of their lead. Qualifying for the Portuguese Cup final did not help them to gather momentum. In early May, Benfica suffered a major blow, losing away to Penafiel and dropping to second. A crucial win against Sporting brought back their title hope, and a week later Benfica won their first league title in ten seasons. The season ended with a loss against Vitória de Setúbal in the Taça de Portugal final, preventing Benfica from winning their first double since 1987.

Season summary

Pre-season

After ending an eight-season drought and ensuring qualification to the

Real Madrid before the end of the season.[1] On 25 May 2004, his move there was made official.[2] Benfica looked for replacements with the same profile as Camacho;[3] they offered the position to Luiz Felipe Scolari, according to his agent.[4] On 9 June, Scolari said, "When people say I signed a contract with Benfica, they're lying! It's shameless and is bad will with the national team. To Benfica I won't go."[5][6]

In mid-June, Benfica restricted their choices to former

all UEFA club competitions and the Intercontinental Cup.[11][12] To assist him, he brought fitness coach Fausto Rossi and goalkeeping coach Adriano Barbin, while Álvaro Magalhães remained as assistant manager.[13]

In the transfer market, the most significant signings were of 28-year-old

Hélder Cristóvão were regularly used, and both continued their careers abroad, with Villarreal and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.[18][19]

The pre-season started on 5 July with four days of medical tests on

Guadiana Trophy with Real Betis on 28 July.[24] Due to league ranking in 2004,[25] Benfica had to play in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, where they were drawn with Anderlecht on 30 July.[26] The pre-season ended with matches against Braga on 1 August and Estoril on August 14.[27]

August–September

Benfica started their season with the third qualifying round of the Champions League, attempting to make their first presence in the group stage since 1998–99.[28] On 10 August, Benfica beat Anderlecht 1–0 after Zlatko Zahovič scored in the 13th minute.[28] When asked why Anderlecht had more goal opportunities than Benfica, Trapattoni said, "Do you know international football? It is very balanced nowadays. I wish we had more chances but our opponent was stronger."[29] Following the win, Benfica were due to meet Porto in the Supercup on 20 August.[30] Ricardo Quaresma of Porto scored the only goal of the game in an individual effort.[31] It was Benfica's tenth consecutive loss in the competition; the previous win occurred in 1989.[32] Four days later, Benfica travelled to Belgium to play Anderlecht.[33] The home team scored first by Aruna Dindane, who scored another on the hour-mark. Nenad Jestrović scored the last goal.[34] Trapattoni blamed fatigue and anxiety for the defeat, saying, "I said we would try to score, but lacked composure to do so. In the first half he spent a lot of energy. On the second, we tried to fight back, until he conceded a second goal, which killed us."[35] The fans insulted the team on their arrival in Lisbon.[36] On 29 August, Benfica made their debut in the Primeira Liga by visiting Beira-Mar. Two goals in the first half and another within five minutes of the second, gave Benfica a lead that help them beat the locals.[37]

On 11 September, after the international matches Benfica returned with a home match against

Académica, beating them 1–0 with a goal from Simão to reach the top of the league table.[42] Trapattoni praised his team and said leading is important to their mentality: "I am happy with the win, but also with the character they have shown. I had the opportunity to lead in Italy and Germany and it is very important. The team starts to believe in themselves more and more."[43] A week later, Benfica hosted Braga.[38] Despite playing with two players upfront, Benfica was unable to score, splitting points with them.[44] After the game, Trapattoni acknowledged the difficult game his team had played, saying, "The final score could disappoint the fans, but let's not forget we are still leaders. Our opponent was a very dangerous team. We had three good chances in the first half, but could not score."[45] On 30 September, Benfica closed the month by hosting Banská Bystrica.[46] Benfica wasted opportunities to build up their score, only beating the Slovaks by 2–0.[47]

October–November

October began with an away match away in

Geovanni converted a free kick.[48] Following a two-week international break, Benfica received Porto on 17 October.[38] The match was notable for the controversy regarding Olegário Benquerença refereeing, with Porto winning 1–0 with a goal from Benni McCarthy.[49] Trapattoni criticized the referee, saying, "I have witness things I had never witnessed before in all of my career."[50] The following Thursday, Benfica opened their UEFA Cup group stage campaign with a home win against Heerenveen.[33] Dos Santos scored the opening goal and Nuno Gomes increased the lead to 2–0. Heerenven levelled the score with a penalty in the 53rd minute, but Benfica fought back and scored twice to win the first points.[51] On 24 October, Benfica played at home against Nacional.[38] The opening goal was scored in the second-half by Azar Karadas, with Tomo Šokota bringing the score to 2–0 minutes later; Nacional evened it to 2–1, but Benfica held on and won the game.[52] Three days later, Benfica started their Portuguese Cup campaign against the third tier club Oriental de Lisboa.[30] Two goals from Šokota and another from Geovanni helped the club progress into the next round.[53] On 31 October, Benfica visited the Estádio Cidade de Barcelos to play Gil Vicente.[38] Benfica were surprised by the home team and conceded first with a goal from Nandinho. In the last minute of the match, Simão equalized, allowing Benfica to gain a point.[54] Trapattoni blamed the team's naïvety for the goal conceded, but praised their character for not giving up.[55]

Benfica opened November with a UEFA Cup match away against German side

Estádio dos Barreiros to Marítimo.[59] On 21 November, Benfica hosted Rio Ave and had a chance to regain the top spot.[60] After building a 3–1 lead at half-time, Benfica allowed the visitors to equalize the game, costing them two more points.[61] Trapattoni criticized his team for the way it conceded the 3–3 draw after a free-kick for Benfica turned into a deadly counter-attack against them.[62] On the following Thursday, Benfica received Dinamo Zagreb for the UEFA Cup.[33] Two first-half goals secured the second win in the group stage for Benfica.[63] On the last match of November, Benfica visited the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, home of União de Leiria,[60] where they conceded a goal in a counter-attack and were unable to equalize in over 70 minutes, losing the match.[64] The loss was their first as visitors; the club slid to fourth place, having lost 12 points since the Clássico.[65] Trapattoni said Benfica lacked composure in the conceded goal, a problem he had previously addressed but still occurred. He remained confident because the league was long and very balanced.[66]

Later, Trapattoni acknowledged the performance, saying, "For the first time, I am with the fans since the team deserved the whistles."[76]

In January, Benfica opened the month with a visit to the

Sporting CP in the Lisbon derby.[60] Sporting's Liédson scored first in the 22nd minute and Nuno Gomes equalized four minutes later.

The Aveiro-based side gave a strong performance; Santiago Silva scored a double, beating Benfica 2–0.[82] Trapattoni was disappointed with his players, saying he had expectations after the win with Boavista but with this performance, he needed to start again.[83] Four days later, Benfica met Sporting at home for the sixth round of the Portuguese Cup.[30] Benfica's Geovanni scored first but Sporting responded with two goals in three minutes and Geovanni equalized five minutes later.[84] As the game went into extra time, Paíto and Simão both scored in individual efforts, bringing the final scoreline to 3–3.[84] From the penalty spot, Benfica converted all of their goals, while Miguel Garcia missed one for Sporting.[84] On 29 January, Benfica visited the Estádio D.

On 14 May, with Estádio da Luz nearly sold-out, Benfica received Sporting for a title-deciding Lisbon Derby.
