But bear in mind it's the magic of the name that counts as much as if not more than success although I accept that a younger generation will naturally have a different perspective than us oldies.
When I put this question to my son, he couldn't understand why I didn't place Porto ahead of Benfica (both teams being Portuguese), as Porto have been more successful for many years. I agreed that factually he was correct but the name Porto has never had a special ring to it in a way that Benfica has. We agreed to disagree !
