This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of football history as Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, the legendary Portuguese footballer, raises a triumphant thumbs up for Benfica after their victory in the European Cup Final against Manchester United in 1968. The image, taken from The Northcliffe Collection, transports us back in time to an era of nostalgia and passion for the beautiful game. Eusebio, affectionately known as 'The Black Panther,' was a key figure in Benfica's success during the late 1960s, leading them to three European Cup titles in a row from 1961 to 1963. His incredible goal-scoring abilities and electrifying performances on the pitch earned him the title of Europe's Footballer of the Year in 1965. In the European Cup Final of 1968, Benfica faced off against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium, with Eusebio leading the charge for the Portuguese powerhouse. The match was a tense and closely contested affair, with both teams displaying exceptional skill and determination. In the end, Benfica emerged victorious, with Eusebio contributing significantly to their triumph. This iconic photograph encapsulates the excitement and emotion of that unforgettable moment, as Eusebio celebrates his team's hard-fought victory with a confident and defiant thumbs up. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and passion that football has inspired throughout the years and invites us to appreciate the incredible talent and dedication of the game's greatest players.
