Notes:

Home shirt as worn by Benfica during the 1999–2000 Primeira Divisão season, a turbulent campaign marked by managerial changes, defensive struggles, and a sixth-place finish. While far from the club’s glory years, the shirt remains memorable for featuring Nuno Gomes in his final season before joining Fiorentina, and for the flair of Karel Poborský, who added creativity and European experience to the side.

Though the season didn’t bring silverware, it was part of a transitional era, with a squad blending seasoned veterans and rising talents like Maniche, who would later become a key figure for Portugal’s national team and FC Porto.
