Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri was quick to play down talk of tension in his squad after Angel Di Maria questioned why his coach had hauled off Arkadiusz Milik.
Milik had headed Juventus into an early lead but after Benfica rallied to lead 2-1, with goals from Joao Mario and David Neres, Allegri chose to shuffle his pack in search of an equaliser.
Di Maria was sent on in the 58th minute but it was the decision to haul goal scorer Milik off for Nicolo Fagioli with 20 minutes to go that wrangled with the winger.
