Match Facts
Milan have never lost a major European match against Benfica in six previous meetings (W4 D2), including defeating them in two European Cup finals in 1963 and 1990.
Benfica have only faced Bayern Munich (P13 D3 L10) and Internazionale (P7 D3 L4) more often in major European competition without winning than Milan (D2 L4). Their most recent meeting was a 1-1 UEFA Champions League group stage draw in November 2007.
Milan boss Ruben Amorim led Manchester United to the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final, losing 1-0 to Spurs. He has only lost one of his last six games against Benfica in all competitions (W2 D3), all while Sporting manager.
Benfica have won eight of their 12 matches in the UEFA Europa League group stages (D3 L1), with their only defeat coming in October 2009 when they were beaten 1-0 by AEK Athens. That is the only time in those 12 matches they've haven't scored at least two goals in a group game.
Milan’s Luka Modric has made 156 major European appearances but only 14 of those have been outside of the UEFA Champions League – his last in the Europa League was in November 2011, scoring in a defeat for Tottenham against PAOK Salonika (1-2).
