Book "Talento e Superação - O Bicampeonato Europeu do Benfica", authored by Património Cultural Benfica and A BOLA. The book includes introductory texts by the President of Sport Lisboa e Benfica, Rui Costa, António Bagão Félix, and João Tordo.

Benfica's European days are part of the collective imagination of all Portuguese people.

The two-time European Championship was achieved thanks to the talent and overcoming of its protagonists, who went through several moments, happy, challenging, or even unusual. A rich and unforgettable story with much to discover!

"This season, 60 years have passed since Benfica won the European Champions Cup twice, in 1960/61 and in 1961/62, achieving the greatest international feat in the club's more than century-old history. These titles were achieved thanks to the talent and overcoming of its protagonists, who went through unique, happy, challenging or even unusual moments. A rich and unforgettable history with much (yet) to be discovered. Authored by Património Cultural, which has privileged access to the club's vast historical collection, this book tells all the most relevant stories and lesser-known curiosities, and shows a series of documents, photographs, and objects that allow the reader, as never before, to go back in time and live those two fabulous campaigns from the inside, as if it were a protagonist."
