Summary
Benfica's manager rotated his squad extensively for the midweek European fixture, giving fringe players a chance to impress in the 2-0 victory. However, with the Porto classic looming on Sunday, most of those who started in Milan will drop back to the bench. Aursnes, Araújo and Palhinha are the exceptions, set to retain their places in the Benfica line-up for the trip to the Dragão.
