Nené remembers Benfica 7-0 Fenerbahçe

Benfica and Fenerbahçe are set to meet again in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. The Turkish club have won both of their home meetings with the Eagles 1-0, but have lost by heavier margins in their previous encounters in Lisbon, most recently bowing out in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League semi-finals.

In the first round of the 1975/76 European Cup, Benfica inflicted a record 7-0 UEFA competition defeat on Fenerbahçe. Former Portuguese international Nené, who holds the record number of appearances for Benfica with 802, was one of two hat-trick scorers that night on 17 September 1975, along with Rui Jordão. He looked back with UEFA.com.
