This is the club’s first league title since the 2018-19 season.
Benfica are the 2022–23 Portuguese Primeira Liga champions after beating bottom-of-the table Santa Clara 3-0 on the final day.
A loss would have opened the door for their arch-rivals Porto, but Benfica avoided this with goals from Goncalo Ramos, Rafa Silva, and Alex Grimaldo ensuring a win and consequently sealing the title race.

FKFPL Tusker vs Gor Mahia: Identifying key players for the title decider
Pulse Sports dissects the K’Ogalo and Brewers’ squads and picks out who are likely to play critical roles on Sunday.
It is a Portuguese record 38th title for Benfica, who finished the season with only four defeats in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Porto, last season's champions, finished second after beating Vitoria Guimaraes 3-0 on the final day too.
Porto needed Benfica to lose to have a chance of retaining the title, but this was not possible in the end.
Benfica would have been crowned champions last weekend but wasted the chance by drawing Sporting Lisbon.
The achievement has come for Benfica, who also reached the Champions League quarterfinals, even after selling a key player in Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
