2004-05 in Portuguese football
Encyclopedia
The 2004-05 season saw SL Benfica
clinch the SuperLiga Galp Energia title after almost 11 years. The SuperLiga had one of the most competitive years with both Sporting C. de Braga and Boavista FC, fighting for the title, for a reasonable amount of time, and closing the gap on the "big three" (Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting CP). The "big three" managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League
while Braga, Vitória SC "de Guimarães" and Vitória FC "de Setúbal" went to the UEFA Cup
. Benfica didn't manage to achieve the double, when they lost to Vitória de Setúbal in the Cup of Portugal final.
In the League of Honour, FC Paços de Ferreira
won the title and alongside with newcomers A. Naval 1º de Maio and former competitors CF Estrela da Amadora secured their place in the 1st level of Portuguese football for 2005-06
.
In the UEFA
competitions, the Portuguese
teams qualified in the 2003-04 season
were Porto and Benfica in the Champions League; Sporting, Sporting de Braga, CS Marítimo
and CD Nacional
in the UEFA Cup; and União D. de Leiria in the UEFA Intertoto Cup
. Early in the season, Porto lost the UEFA Super Cup to AC Milan. Eventually they would reach the round of 16 of the Champions League where they were eliminated by Internazionale. In the middle of the season Porto also won their second Intercontinental Cup
against Once Caldas
. Meanwhile Sporting managed to reach the UEFA cup final (which was already chosen to be played at Sporting's Estádio José de Alvalade) where they lost to CSKA Moscow. The fact that Leiria reached the finals of the Intertoto Cup is also noteworthy.
Meanwhile, the Selecção Nacional
(national team) managed to secure a comfortable position that would prove decisive in the qualification for the FIFA World Cup 2006.
These teams were relegated to the League of Honour at the end of the season:
UEFA Champions League round of 16
UEFA Cup first round

SuperLiga
After almost 11 years, the longest "drought" period in Benfica's history comes to an end. It was an awekward season, mainly because of the inconsistency of the chronically title candidates. Never a team had won the championship with such a small amount of points, since victory is equivalent to three points. The 65 points of Benfica would only be sufficient to manage a 4th place in the year before and, considering a percentage of points awarded, their score of 64% wouldn't be enough to place them in first or second place in any other of the previous Portuguese championships. Inconsistency was present in Benfica's season, but their main rivals were no better. In the upper part o the table the Sporting de Braga's season is noteworthy, that was fighting for the title 4 games before the end of the season.Promoted teams
