Lech Poznań lose 0:4 to Benfica in Europa League group game

On 10 December 2020 Lech Poznań travelled to Lisbon for their penultimate-stage Europa League group match in the 2020-21 season and lost 0:4 to Benfica. It was the second defeat against the Portuguese club in the group, after Benfica had won 4:2 in Poznań in October.

Lech, the Polish league champions of 2014-15 and one of the country's best-supported clubs, had returned to the group stage of a European competition after a gap of several years. They were drawn in a group with Benfica, Scottish side Rangers and Belgium's Standard Liège, and the matches were played in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, mostly without spectators.

The heavy loss in Lisbon ended Lech's realistic hopes of progressing, and the team did not reach the knockout stage. The two matches against Benfica showed the gap in quality and experience between the Polish side and one of Portugal's top clubs, and they remain the reference point when Lech and Benfica meet again in European competition.
