TONIGHT’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE match between Benfica and Olympiacos was played on a surface that looks more like a swimming pool than a football pitch.
Heavy rain in Lisbon left the pitch at the Estadio da Luz severely waterlogged in places, including one of the goalmouths.
Exhibit A:
Despite the terrible conditions, referee Raul Cabanero allowed the game to continue. It finished 1-1.
