The 2009-10 campaign delivered a glorious return to silverware for Benfica as Os Encarnados, under the new and charismatic leadership of manager Jorge Jesus, surged to their 32nd Primeira Liga title after a five-year wait. Leading the charge was the prolific Óscar Cardozo, whose 26 league goals proved decisive in a season that also saw the emergence of young talents like Ángel Di María and David Luiz. It was a triumphant year, establishing a new era of dominance and remains a defining, successful chapter in the club’s modern history.
