In January 2011, as part of a deal that saw David Luiz move to Chelsea, Matic left for Benfica. In Portugal, Matic transformed into a formidable no.6. Under the guidance of manager Jorge Jesus, he was converted from a playmaker, and he was awarded the Primeira Liga Player of the Year for his performances during the 2012/13 season, also winning the Taca da Liga and the Primeira Liga with the Eagles.

However, Serbian midfielder Matic - who currently plays for Ligue 1 side Lyon - seemingly opposed the awareness initiative and chose to cover the logo on his shirt sleeve with a strip of white tape.
