Benfica's 'victory' against Sp. Braga, for 3 a 2surprises a total of zero people. Pedreira was, in fact, the stage for yet another giant imaginary result by Rui Costa and company. It is not new that the incarnates are deeply immersed in an endless parallel reality. Clube da Luz created a fantasy world where it hires a (historical) coach and gains a communications director. Where the technical command changes (once again) right at the start of the season and the refereeing is to blame for the lack of success. Where he gives up David Neres to now fight behind the scenes for Wesley and André Luiz. Where he sells Marcos Leonardo after just six months at home and then hires Franjo Ivanovic. Where he pays more than 30 million euros for Sudakov and insists on Leandro Barreiro as number 10. Where he hires three full-backs in the summer and ends up having another full-back as his first winter reinforcement. Where he disputes Richard Ríos' (non-existent) foul on Vítor Carvalho and remains silent about Barreiro's penalty on Pau Víctor. Not all fairy tales are worthy of a happy ending. *Bruno Andrade writes his opinion in Brazilian Portuguese
