Ruben Amorim gave Chelsea a vital boost to beat Benfica: tough times | OneFootball

Alejandro Garnacho was one of the central figures in the Chelsea - Benfica match, which ended 1-0 for the Londoners. The winger made the cross that resulted in Richard Ríos' own goal, and the truth is that the Argentine international only plays for the Blues... Because of Ruben Amorim, who cut him from the Manchester United squad.

At the end of the match against Benfica, Alejandro Garnacho spoke precisely about those unfortunate moments in his career. Speaking to TNT Sports, the Argentine winger talked about the victory against the Eagles, but also recalled the period when he crossed paths with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.

"Those were difficult times for me, I was alone, training alone. But I have nothing bad to say about the club. It was a bad time in my life, but now I am happy to be here, to play in this competition, and for us to have secured the three points," Alejandro Garnacho began by explaining.

The former protégé of Ruben Amorim continued: "When I was little, I dreamed of playing in the Champions League and, here it is, now that has become a reality. We won three important points, we needed that after the defeat in the first game, so we are happy."

It should be remembered that Benfica was defeated 1-0 by Chelsea, in the match counting for the second round of the Champions League group stage. The Eagles will be back on the pitch next Sunday, October 5th, at 9:15 pm, to play the classic against Porto, at the Estádio do Dragão.
