EXTRA TIMEFirst Manchester City, now Benfica!

Pokemon Go, the app that appears to be taking over the world, has invaded the Estadio da Luz in Portugal, setting up a Pokestop in the stadium, having already taken residence at the Etihad Stadium.

Using GPS tracking, the app challenges players to find Pokemon in the real world, and would-be trainers can collect Pokeballs, which are used to catch those creatures in the wild, Potions, which can heal Pokemon after battles, and other such consumables at PokeStops.
