S.L. Benfica manager Jorge Jesus says his side are prepared for what will be an “unforgettable night” for the Portuguese side. The 2013-2014 Primeira Liga champions' boss has claimed that the domestic title was their goal and now that they have claimed it, they will celebrate their important achievement.
The Eagles boss made these comments after he saw his side clinch the 2013-2014 Primeira Liga title as a Lima's double was enough to see a 2-0 victory over Olhanense on Sunday. Benfica are now seven points ahead of second-placed Sporting CP with only two rounds of matches remaining, meaning Benfica claims their first Portuguese tile in three years.
