After performing well in Brazil, European club scouts noticed him. In summer 2003 he moved to the Portuguese record champions SL Benfica for one million euros. After a period of getting used to it, he came into the starting XI and convinced. He defended his position in 2004/05 and 2005/06. With Benfica he won both the championship and the Supercup in 2005. In July 2005 he extended his contract for another six years. It was only at the beginning of the 2006/07 season that Luisão made fewer appearances. During this time he became the team captain due to the failures of Nuno Gomes and Petit . Due to minor injuries, he only made a few appearances in the 2008/2009 season. In 2009/10 Benfica dominated the Portuguese league and the defender was able to win the double from the championship and the Taça da Liga , which was brought to Lisbon in the preseason for the second time since 2005 .

Incidents

In January 2008, the defensive player and his teammate Kostas Katsouranis caused an uproar when they both became hostile during the game and wanted to attack each other. Teammates separated the brawlers and coach José Antonio Camacho replaced both shortly afterwards. The club finally decided to suspend both players. Soon after, Katsouranis and Luisão apologized for the derailment.

On August 11, 2012, the Benfica captain struck down referee Christian Fischer in the 43rd minute during his team's test match against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the Düsseldorf ESPRIT arena . Then the referee had to leave the field and finally broke off the game between the Bundesliga club and the Portuguese top club. Luisão later denied any guilt and spoke of a "calm conscience". A little later, referee Fischer filed a criminal complaint against the Brazilian. The Düsseldorf public prosecutor's office then initiated an investigation against him for bodily harm, and in June 2014 he was sentenced to a fine of 60,000 euros for bodily harm.
