Notes - Very rare player shirt believed to have been worn by a #16 for the Friendly match against Arsenal, played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence on 7th August. The sides were meeting as part of a pre-season tournament alongside Serie A titans and hosts Fiorentina. As Águias had beaten the Italians in a thrilling shootout after a 1-1 draw earleir in the day and looked to make it another win here over the Gunners. A solid performance saw them run out 3-1 winners after goals from Basarab Panduru, Donizete and Hassan Nader with Welsh international John Hartson netting a consolation for the Premier League giants. Benfica went on to finish 3rd in the League this season and also reached the Cup Winners' Cup Quarter Finals.
