O Clássico

O Clássico is the name given in football to matches between Portuguese clubs S.L. Benfica and FC Porto. Originally, the term O Clássico only referred to games played in the league, but now tends to include matches that take place in other domestic competitions such as the Taça de Portugal, Taça da Liga and Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. Despite being the two most decorated Portuguese clubs in European football, with seven European trophies between them, they have never faced each other in a European competition. Benfica and Porto are two of the three clubs known as the "Big Three" in Portugal, the other being Sporting CP.
The rivalry comes about as Lisbon and Porto are the two largest cities in Portugal, and both clubs are the most decorated football teams in Portugal.

Rivalry

The first match between the Águias and the Dragões was an exhibition game that was played on the 28 April 1912, when Benfica defeated Porto 8–2. Eight years later, Porto would win their first Clássico, 3–2. Porto would have to wait another nine years to accumulate their second victory over Benfica. Prior to the establishment of the Primeira Liga in 1934, both Benfica and Porto were competing within their football league district. Both sides were also competing in the Campeonato de Portugal which later became in 1938 the Taça de Portugal.
Until 1934, Benfica would win the Campeonato de Lisboa nine times as well as triumphing in the Taça de Honra de Lisboa twice, while Porto would win the Campeonato do Porto nineteen times as well as claiming the Taça de Honra do Porto twice. Benfica would meet Porto for the first time in an official match in the domestic cup competition which during the early periods of Portuguese football was the Campeonato de Portugal. Benfica defeated Porto in the final of the 1931 Campeonato de Portugal, 3–0 at the Campo do Arnado in Coimbra. Two goals from Vítor Silva and one from Augusto Dinis sealed the win to claim Benfica's second Campeonato de Portugal.
The inception of the Primeira Liga saw Porto win the very first edition of the competition. Both sides met for the first time in the competition on 3 February 1935, on which Porto won 2–1. Benfica would win the return tie 3–0. Despite Benfica's win, the Águias would finish third in the league, three points behind Porto. The next five seasons would see Benfica win three titles to Porto's two. During the 1940s, both sides would take a back seat to Sporting CP, which would win five league titles in the decade.
The late 1950s and 1960s saw Benfica dominate not just Portuguese football but also European football. The arrival of Eusébio saw Benfica secure eight league titles in ten years. Benfica's league titles were joined by two consecutive European Cups which were won in 1961, 3–2 against Barcelona, and in 1962, 5–3 against Real Madrid. The 1970s saw the continuation of Benfica's dominance up until the 1977–78 season, during which Porto won the league title for the first time in 19 years. The 1980s and early 1990s saw both Benfica and Porto battle for the league title. Porto's resurgence and the introduction of Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa as chairman saw Porto reach new heights, winning the European Cup for the first time after defeating Bayern Munich 2–1 in the European Cup Final. Three years later, Benfica reached their eighth European final, the 1990 European Cup Final, losing 1–0 to Milan.
In the 1990s, Porto began to dominate Portuguese football, winning a record five consecutive league titles. The intensity between these two sides in the '90s was culminated by the fact that former Portuguese international teammates João Pinto, who played for Benfica, and Paulinho Santos, who played for Porto, publicly declared their dislike for each other. The new millennium saw a continuation of Porto's dominance. Porto would reach the heights of their 1987 European Cup final win after José Mourinho guided Os Dragões to the UEFA Cup in 2003 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004. Benfica won the league title in 2005 for the first time in over ten years to halter Porto's momentum. During the second half of the 2000s, both sides battled for top spot, with the rivalry intensified after Benfica's Cristian Rodríguez joined Porto in the summer of 2008 to become the third Benfica player in recent history to have made the switch. In 2010, after four seasons, Benfica won their 32nd league title. Also in 2010, Benfica defeated Porto 3–0 in the 2009–10 Taça da Liga final to win the first of what would be four straight Taça da Liga titles, a competition that Porto would only win in the 2022–23 edition against Sporting CP.
The next year, Porto recorded their biggest home win over As Águias, a 5–0 thrashing in a league fixture. Porto would secure a treble in the same season in which they claimed the league title, the Taça de Portugal as well as the UEFA Europa League. On 18 May 2014, Benfica made history after achieving the domestic treble of winning the Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga. Later on, Benfica secured four more league titles – four in a row and 37 overall, the latter a Portuguese record – and won another two league cups, achieving a record seventh overall. Porto and Benfica would go back-and-forth as league champions from the 2017–18 season through to the 2019–20 season.
