SL Benfica is not one of those teams, but they do represent a challenge. Portuguese teams have long gained a reputation for being perennial fixtures in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, so a win here would do amazing things for the team’s confidence. It would also help Bayern’s chances of qualifying to the next round, since that is suddenly under threat.
