Zwayer had already refereed the Reds’ visit to Dynamo kyiv, on August 17, in the first leg of the play-off for access to the Champions League group stage, which Benfica won 2-0, in Lodz.
In the 2017/18 season, the same referee guided the reception of the eagles to Manchester United, who won 1-0, already in the regular phase of the Champions League.
Benfica is at the top of group H, with the same three points as French champions Paris Saint-Germain, while Juventus and Israel’s Maccabi Haifa, beaten 2-0 on their visit to Estádio da Luz, have not yet add points.
