Episode Details

Hearts suffered a brutal 6-1 hammering at Benfica in Lisbon, their worst European defeat ever, as the Portuguese giants showcased top-tier quality while Hearts struggled to find rhythm after Champions League exit. Reus kept them in it with heroic saves early on, but Benfica’s clinical finishing and set-piece dominance proved too much.

Now facing relegation to the Conference League, they still have one last chance to salvage pride at home in the return leg.
