benfica was written off after real madrid took the lead but they dug deep and got that reward in the end 
anatoliy trubin is a genius for that stoppage time save, i mean who needs ordinary goals when you can score one like that out of nowhere 
jose mourinho must be over the moon right now 
and let's not forget benfica was down 2-1 in injury time, they really showed their grit. the champions league is never dull 
That guy's skills are insane! And Real Madrid thought they had it in the bag... NOT 
Mourinho must be having a heart attack right now 
. It's amazing how much of a difference one goal can make. The Portuguese side definitely played some crazy football, and I'm loving every minute of it 
this is crazy! i mean benfica beating real madrid in the champs league? that's like a dream come true for any football fan 
Anatoliy trubin just saved jose mourinho's team from elimination with that stoppage-time goal, what a legend 
, I'm still shaking my head in awe. Mourinho's got skills too tho 
. And can we talk about the Portuguese squad's teamwork and chemistry? It's like they're one big happy family 
! Benfica is on fire 
and I'm here for every minute of it 
. I mean, who needs a regular goalkeeper when you have that kind of skill? 
Those Portuguese players must be mental to play under Mourinho, but it clearly worked out in their favor this time around 
The way he controlled that ball and slotted it past the Real Madrid keeper was pure MAGIC 
Mourinho must be so proud of his team, especially Trubin. I'm dying to know more about him, what's his story? Did he always have the skills or did he break out in that performance? 
. anyway, what a match! benfica's got a great shot at making it to the semis now and trubin's gonna be legendary forever
