After win over Alverca, Mourinho hits proud milestone with Benfica | OneFootball

José Mourinho continues to consolidate numbers that help frame Benfica's current moment. With the recent victory against Alverca (2-1), the Special One reached 18 consecutive games without defeats in the League, a streak that corresponds to more than an entire round of the championship.

The records of the Portuguese coach gain even greater dimension when analyzing the overall performance in home games. Throughout his career, Mourinho has achieved 55 victories in 65 matches as a host, also maintaining a long unbeaten streak in national competitions. The last defeat on Portuguese soil in the championship dates back to the 2001/02 season when he was managing Porto.

Despite a season marked by some performance irregularity, the numbers support the coach's assessment of the work done. Internally, Mourinho has emphasized that the competitive data reflects a solid foundation, built over the last few matches, which allows the team to stay connected to the defined objectives.

This statistical framework has served as support for the message conveyed in the locker room. The coach insists that the fight for the title remains open, urging the continuation of positive results and the ability to pressure direct rivals until the end of the season.

It should be noted that the Eagles will return to the field next Friday, February 13, at 6:30 PM, against Santa Clara, at Estádio São Miguel. The match will count for the 22nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
