Grabbing this for a review. I think it's already in very good shape - that Peer review certainly helped a great deal. Here's my comments:

Images are fine and fit the context of the article. My only comment would be that the formatting on the multiple image template under Chasing the dream is odd - I'd simply change "header" to "footer" in the template and then it'll match the formatting of the other images.
Is it worth piping a link to Primeira Divisão where you say "champions of Portugal" in the lead?
Link 1965–66 European Cup in the last part of the lead (unless you've linked it elsewhere in the lead, but I couldn't see it).
Add "of Luxembourg" after Stade Dudelange as well - there's no need to do something for Sevilla as they're better known, but I had no idea what country Dudelange were from.
Background: It doesn't talk about the "political reasons" mentioned in the lead.
"Benfica's first European silverware came in 1950 when led by Ted Smith" - I'd changed that to "managed by" or "coached by" as otherwise it could be read that Smith was the captain of the team.
I'd swap out "Merengues" with "the Spanish champions" if you're looking for another way to refer to Real Madrid - I wasn't aware of their nickname and thought initially you were referring to Benfica.
"where it stood among the top contenders" change "it" to "they" since you're talking about Southern European teams in general rather than specifically Benfica.
Firstly, I like the layouts with the tables within the sections - however, I think it'd be better if the tables were within subsections within those sections (the same way as each table has a subsection in the Records part of the article).
I wasn't sure about "Chasing the dream" as a section heading. While I liked the poetry of it, I wasn't sure that it was specific enough. But I've had a brainwave, which gave me an idea for a compromise. So I would suggest changing the section titles to "European champions and Guttmann's curse (1950-79)", "Chasing the dream (1980-99)" and "Recent years (2000-present)". That way it can be kept, but it's obvious to the reader what the section is referring to within the context of the article.
The Independent and the Daily Mail need to be in italics. I'd remove the Metro.co.uk listing and just call it Metro instead, placing that in italics as it's a print newspaper.
Cite #62 is unformatted
Cite #69 has different formatting for UEFA - both listing it as UEFA.com instead of simply UEFA and incorrectly placing it in italics.
Footballzz seems to have been rebranded - I get a differently named website load when I click through the cites. Secondly, what makes this source reliable?
Ping me back when you've had a chance to work through those. Miyagawa (talk) 10:40, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
@Miyagawa: I think I've addressed everything you said. About the finalball, It was used in here and deemed reliable, so I've being used elsewhere also. I wanted to ask the reviewer about the image in the infobox at the lead. When I did this article from scratch in May 2015, I wanted a photo for the intro, the obvious choice was showing the two European cups, but since no one had visited the club museum yet, I selected the second best choice, the topscorer. I've since visited the museum and took the photo I needed and was considering put Eusébio with the records at the bottom and changing the infobox picture to either this or this, what's your feedback?--Threeohsix (talk) 12:10, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
@Threeohsix: Thanks for coming back so quickly. I think swapping the lead image for the cups is a good idea. Personally, I'd see if you could crop around the two cup image as you've got a trophy cut in half by the end on the left (but you'd need to do a tight crop on the right as well otherwise it'll be lop sided). Like you say, Eusébio can be placed with the records towards the bottom. Miyagawa (talk) 13:22, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
But happy to promote to GA in the meanwhile! Miyagawa (talk) 13:22, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

@Besteirense: Are you aware that you are editing a Good Article (removing stuff) thus possibly decreasing its quality? SLBedit (talk) 17:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
WP:OVERLINK does not apply to infoboxes and tables (it's optional). "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead." SLBedit (talk) 17:36, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

The good article symbol is clearly noticeable. With my last edit, it's easier to read for how many consecutive seasons/matches Benfica entered in one competition. About the links, I left one per competition in each infobox, which is enough, even because there's also the links in the seasons' column that can give the same information or redirect (indirectly) to the competitions' main pages.  Besteirense (talk) 17:50, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

The article shows that the highest European home attendance was 110,000 in the match against Marseille, but I found an online source saying that there were 127,000 people at the stadium. SLBedit (talk) 20:17, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

84.238.244.221 (talk · contribs) continues to make changes without explaining them. So, I have reverted them. SLBedit (talk) 16:57, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
