Club: SL Benfica Year: 2006/07 Brand: Adidas Jersey Type: Home Size: L Player Name: Rui Costa 10 Chest length (cm): 55 Shirt length (cm): 79 Condition: 8/10 History: The 2006/07 season was a turbulent one for SL Benfica, marked by a series of ups and downs. Under manager Ronald Koeman, the club started the season with high expectations following their strong performances in the previous campaign. Benfica finished 3rd in the Primeira Liga, just behind Porto and Sporting CP, securing a UEFA Champions League spot for the next season.
Despite individual brilliance from players like Nuno Gomes, Rui Costa, and the emerging talent of Simão Sabrosa, Benfica's season was overshadowed by internal instability and inconsistent performances. They were knocked out of the Taça de Portugal in the round of 16 and also eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at the group stage, falling short of advancing to the knockout rounds.
Rui Costa was a legendary Portuguese playmaker known for his vision, creativity, and passing ability. Playing for Benfica, Fiorentina, and AC Milan, he won numerous domestic titles and international honors, including the UEFA Champions League with Milan. Costa was a key figure for Portugal, earning 94 caps and representing his country in major tournaments.
