Шаблон:Infobox football club season The 1960–61 season was Sport Lisboa e Benfica's 57th season in existence and the club's 27th consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football, covering the period from 1 August 1960 to 30 July 1961. Benfica competed domestically in the Primeira Divisão and the Taça de Portugal and participated in the European Cup after winning the previous league.

After promising to win the European Cup the year before, Guttmann made almost no changes, only signing centre-back Germano. A dominant league campaign saw Benfica lap the first half with 12 wins in 13 games. A loss in January did not stop their momentum, and they added five more wins in the following weeks. On day 22, they drew with Sporting, and a week later they sealed their second consecutive league title. José Águas scored a league best 27 goals. Meanwhile, in Europe, Benfica defeated Hearts, Újpesti Dózsa, and AGF on their way to a semi-final with Rapid Wien. They won three-nil at home and drew one-all in Vienna, qualifying for the European Cup final, where they would meet favourites Barcelona. A 3–2 win secured their historic first European Cup.

Season summary

After Béla Guttmann led Benfica to the league title in 1959–60, he set his eyes on winning the European Cup, a promise he made when he first arrived at Benfica. In his second year, he recruited Fernando Caiado as assistant, due to his connection with the players, and said to him: "Caiado, help me because I am going to make Benfica the European Champion". He only made one signing for the first team, centre-back, Germano. The season began on 27 August with a game against Barreirense. After other matches, Benfica ended the pre-season with the Taça de Honra, which they finished third. Despite the focus in Europe, Benfica domestic performance was dominant with 12 wins and one draw in the first half of the league. Шаблон:Sfn At the same time, they eliminated Hearts in the preliminary round of the European Cup, and Újpesti Dózsa in the first round.Шаблон:Sfn In the first leg, at home, Benfica build up a 5–0 lead in 28 minutes.Шаблон:Sfn The second half of the league was less imposing, with Benfica conceding their first loss with Vitória de Guimarães.Шаблон:Sfn This was followed by five consecutive wins.Шаблон:Sfn In Europe, they had no difficulties in quarter-finals with the Danish AGF, beating them by 4–1 at their own home.Шаблон:Sfn In April, Benfica wrapped up the league, after drawing with Sporting CP on match-day 22, keeping a five-point lead.
