😳 Mourinho faces the worst run of his Champions League career | OneFootball

Qarabag, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Bayer Leverkusen. Benfica suffered its fourth consecutive defeat in the Champions League this Wednesday, placing them at the 35th spot on the table, without any points. The Eagles' performance in the competition is quite negative, but José Mourinho's record isn't much better.

According to PlaymakerStats, The Special One recorded his sixth consecutive defeat in the Champions League against the Werkself, considering only the matches that count for the regular phase (group or league) of the competition.

The Portuguese coach began this troubled journey in 2019/20, when he was still managing Tottenham. Leading the Spurs, Mourinho was defeated in Munich (3-1) against Bayern München, before suffering two consecutive losses (0-1 and 3-0) against another German team: RB Leipzig.

Six years later, José Mourinho returns to the group/league phase of the lucrative competition, this time at the helm of Benfica. However, history, which tends to repeat itself, haunts the Portuguese once again, as he remains winless in the competition, five matches after the defeat at the Allianz Arena.

Interestingly, the cycle closes with a match against a German team. After losing twice in England, in the matches against Chelsea and Newcastle, Mourinho's Benfica once again registers a negative result, this time at home, against Bayer Leverkusen.

However, the current coach of the Eagles has not been able to get his players to score any goals in the last five matches he has played in the Champions League, although they did score the last goal against Bayern, through Ryan Sessègnon.
