Monaco were lucky to have done their work early as they were very poor down the stretch. Benfica finished the group stage on a high note.

Benfica fan here, red car was stupid. Ref cannot influence the game that way, it takes away from credibility of the match.
These football players are dumber than dirt. He had a yellow card already and he got another one for no reason.
Worst red card I ever seen
That ref needs to be fired and permanently banned from ever being a ref. That red card was the most unnecessary/Ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen a ref do. Talk about a power hungry ref…. Shame…
Man that was a straight NFL style tackle haha
Bro that benfica left back should’ve been sent off 🤣🤣🤣 in the first minute. Monaco was robbed a pen. Bro was pulling onto the player for dear life 💀💀💀
Another incompetent Ref who clearly declared: I am the one that decides who wins the game !!!
UCL's Refs & VAR are pathetic!
YEAH HARSH YELLOW…. BUT RULES ARE RULES.
Anyone that follows Benfica knows in the last 4-5 years this team plays better on the road than at home. They should have done better after Monaco went down to 10 men.
The ref destroyed the game
Second yellow was egregious, nice job ref
That second yellow made me laugh
Wow, was that red card necessary?
Pavlidis….what a finish🔥🔥🔥
That stadium sucks. Look how fare away the fans are.
1:18 i mean this is why people are talking about how bad strikers are today and how true strikers have died out
where are the strikers today, other than really just haaland, that want to fight through contact and score goals more than they want to fall on the ground for cheap penalties? kudos to pavlidis for fighting through that contact in this match
The ref is on some BS 😅😂
Italian referee. Not surprised at all. Geez.
Refereeing today across the ucl (except the penalty not given for Celtic) was simply atrocious
That second yellow is the one they would give Arsenal in EPL, very unfair and harsh, to send off a player for that is really not what referee is on the field for, none of the Big teams would get it.
Yellow for protesting, yellow for kicking the ball away after the whistle. The game's gone man.
Clearly a biased second yellow. Makes me wonder if those who control the refs (elites?!?) know which teams will be in the final.
the red card is outrageous.
Monaco going down to 10 men and holding Benfica back for half the game is really commendable. Their defense was solid. Benfica could have done better with the advantage they had to widen their lead. Surprised how they performed considering the game they had against Barcelona. They were very scary in that game and came so close to an upset.
greek power! and a great hard foul on akliush
Racism is alive
Idiotic refereeing, as usual. Some clubs and players are given free passes all the time while this poor dude got a yellow for merely gesturing a card.
That red card contends with Lewis-Skelly for worst red of the season
How can you possibly justify Carreras not getting a second yellow there? Sure, give it to the player gesturing for one, that's fair enough. But what makes no sense is not sending off Carreras as well.
This referee needs the anger management class. It should be just a warning. If the player consistently bugged him even after warning then I would agree.
Lol, it’s like asking can I get a card? Sure, here’s red for you
That ref should be banned giving that red card for what 😂
What a disgraceful yellow card from the referee. Proper cheating stuff.
Nice win from Benfica 👏
the ref hates blacks is the only explanation why he gave that second yellow
Stupid red card.
Very bad call from the referee that made the match about his decision rather than the football.
Benfica will go through, as a Barca fan I'd rather face PSG for revenge and i dont want to see Benfica again they can do so much damage
That second yellow card for protesting or directing to card the opponent is not an ordinary yellow to give, especially because it cannot be overturned. That was harsh
The Monaco player was calm, completely non-aggressive, looked like non-verbal as well, made no drastic movements towards the ref, and just made a simple card gesture and got a second yellow for that. In highlights of the games today alone, I have watched groups of players sprint at refs, yell, use aggressive hand signs, and clearly disrespect the ref and not get yellows. It blows my mind how the ref gives a second yellow for that. I can understand a ref giving a yellow for a player sprinting up in to his face to whine and complain, but this was just so ridiculous to me
