Benfica are not playing in the Champions League.

Portuguese giants Benfica have been eliminated in the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

Last night, they lost 2-1 to Paoque. After the goalless first half, in the 63rd minute of the match, Benfica star Jan Vertongan's suicide goal gave Paok the lead. Andrea Zivkovic doubled Paok's lead in the 65th minute.

Benfica's Rafa Silva paid for a goal in the fourth minute after 90 minutes when the rate was confirmed. But they did not have time to return to the match with the second goal.

As a result, the Portuguese team had to leave the field with a rate. And the hope of playing in the Champions League is over.
