Dalla Grande Inter a Puskas, da Cruyff a Messi: ecco le 9 squadre più grandi di sempre

Daniele Mari

BENFICA: grazie al genio tattico di Béla Guttmann e a un campione come Eusébio, il Benfica ha strappato lo scettro al Real Madrid e ha dominato il calcio europeo nei primi anni '60.

"È oro, è oro", dichiara il nuovo tecnico Béla Guttmann quando vede per la prima volta in azione il giovane Eusébio. La "pantera nera", nata in Mozambico, non è l'unico genio in campo, ma arriva a simboleggiare la squadra che vincerà il campionato dal 1960 al 1969 e che, con l'allenatore ungherese, conquisterà due Coppe dei Campioni, raggiungendo altre tre finali nello stesso decennio dopo la sua partenza.
