After consecutive European Cup wins, Guttmann reportedly approached the club's board of directors asking for a pay rise. As his💰 demand was turned down, he left the club and reportedly professed his alleged curse.[15] Benfica replaced him with Fernando Riera,💰 and while the Chilean manager led the team to a third-straight European Cup final, he was unable to emulate Guttmann's💰 success. On 25 May 1963, against Milan, Benfica's chances were slim after a harsh tackle from Gino Pivatelli severely debilitated💰 Coluna.[16] In a time when substitutions did not exist, Benfica played the rest of the match crippled, and two second-half💰 goals from José Altafini sent the trophy to Italy.[17][18][19] After a poor performance in the 1963–64 European Cup, Benfica returned💰 to the final in the following season. Led by Romanian manager Elek Schwartz, Benfica eliminated Real Madrid 5–1 in the💰 quarter-finals on their way to meet the holders Inter Milan in the final, played at Inter's home ground, San Siro,💰 in a muddy and waterlogged pitch. A mistake from Alberto da Costa Pereira, allowing a shot from Jair to pass💰 between his legs, cost Benfica their second attempt at a European Cup treble.[21]
After four seasons, Benfica proved ready to challenge💰 for the European Cup in 1987–88. After eliminating teams like Anderlecht and Steaua București, they reached their sixth final in💰 the competition, where they met PSV in a match played at Stuttgart's Neckarstadion on 25 May 1988. Following a goalless💰 draw at the end of extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out. The Dutch side – fielding💰 five Netherlands national team players that would go on to conquer the UEFA Euro 1988 a month later – converted💰 all of their penalty kicks, whereas António Veloso allowed goalkeeper Hans van Breukelen to defend his penalty kick, and sealed💰 Benfica's fourth consecutive European Cup final loss.[39] Benfica did not wait long to make another appearance in the European Cup's💰 showpiece match, as two years later – and with Swedish manager Eriksson again in charge – a team including Brazil's💰 starting centre-backs Ricardo Gomes and Aldair, together with midfielders Valdo and Jonas Thern, eliminated Marseille with a controversial handled goal💰 from Vata to reach their seventh European Cup final. Before the final, Eusébio visited Béla Guttmann's grave, asking for forgiveness💰 in hope of ending the curse.[41] On 23 May 1990, Benfica faced title holders Milan at Vienna's Praterstadion and were💰 unable to prevent Frank Rijkaard to score the winning goal and give the Italian side its fourth and second consecutive💰 European Cup title.[42]
