In stark contrast, Chris Sutton branded his former side as "flat-track bullies".
Celtic have lost four of their past five games.
Every high-stakes match this term - both meetings with Rangers and both European outings - has ended in a defeat.
By the time their performance improved in Lisbon on Thursday, they were three goals down and effectively already out of the contest, hamstrung by their own sloppy mistakes.
Dane Murray upended Jhon Duran to concede a penalty inside four minutes, an error which characterised the first 45 minutes.
Sebastian Tounekti then allowed Alexander Bah to run past him for Benfica's second and goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo was beaten too easily as Duran scored the hosts' third.
