Benfica Surprises in Champions League, Advances to Quarterfinals as Top Contender

      Benfica's journey in the Champions League this season has been nothing short of remarkable. When they started their campaign in the third qualifying round in August, many experts did not expect them to significantly impact Europe's top club competition. This was primarily due to the fact that the team had a disappointing season by their standards, and expectations were low. However, as the tournament progressed, Benfica began to show its true potential. Under their new coach, Roger Schmidt, the team kept improving and advancing. They are now in great form and are considered one of the strongest contenders in the decisive stages of the competition.

Baumann was most famous for his portrayal of characters in crime-related roles.
