The Portuguese champions, who reached the quarter-finals of the lucrative competition last season, will also be up against Ricardo Quaresma.


The Turkish champions’ number 7 was one of the more influential members of Portugal’s heroic team at the Euros.


But the former Sporting and FC Porto winger will need no motivation to try and unlock Benfica’s defence.


Arguably the pick of the week’s European matches will see Cristiano Ronaldo face his old team Sporting, at the San Bernabeu tomorrow evening.
