Champions League: Chelsea play a dirty trick on Mourinho

José Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, this time at the helm of Benfica. But this homecoming to Chelsea’s old turf did not bring luck to the Portuguese tactician.

In this clash on matchday 2, the Blues clinched a 1-0 victory thanks to an unfortunate own goal by Richard Rios Montoya in the 18th minute. A harsh blow for Benfica, already beaten in their opening match (3-2 against Qarabag).

With this win, Chelsea climb to 3 points in their group and reignite their campaign. Benfica, on the other hand, remain pointless after two rounds. The next fixtures could prove decisive: Chelsea will host Ajax, while Benfica travel to face Newcastle at St James’ Park.
