Eusébio, José Águas and José Augusto are among the 10 best attacking trios, chosen by the prestigious French magazine "France Football", who played and won the competition, as European Cup or as Champions League.

The competition under the control of UEFA is back with the matches from the eight-finals and the "France Football" made a collection of data in which it remembers the three attacking players of Benfica who, in 1962, won the second European Cup of the Club's history against Real Madrid (5-3).

In Amsterdam, the three players were in the starting XI, with José Águas and Eusébio – twice- putting their names on the scoring sheet. It should also be recalled that a year before, in Bern, Benfica had beat Barcelona, by 3-2.

Eusébio is one of the great names of the UEFA competition because, with 47 goals, he is still in the Top 10 best goal scorers ever.
