38th title for Benfica: Schmidt wins the Portuguese championship

Congratulations on the championship, despite the enormously constant competition from Porto. Runners-up with 85 points, for example Bayern have only surpassed that 3x in the last 11 years.

Conditions in Portugal were brutal this season. The 4 teams above have shaved everything, ALL other teams have a Negative Goal Difference. The difference between 4th (Sporting) and 5th (Arouca) is 20 points and 40 goals.

Arouca is playing internationally next season, with 36 goals scored. To my knowledge, a team that was not relegated to the 3rd league 3 years ago only because of a Covid regulation (they finished 16th in league 2). It can go that fast..
