Benfica registered all players in the squad on the UEFA list. Winter reinforcements Rafa Silva and Sidny Lopes Cabral are among José Mourinho's options for the Champions League. Rafael Obrador, who was loaned to Italians Torino in the January market, left the list of registered players. In this way, Benfica still had two free places on list A, as they signed up 22 players out of a maximum of 24. Players such as Samuel Soares, Alexander Bah, Richard Ríos and Dodi Lukebakio, despite being injured, remain on the Reds' A list. Joshua Wynder and Nuno Félix, also injured, are options on the B list. Benfica will face Real Madrid in the play-off to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League on February 17th and 25th. The first leg will be played in Luz.
