8 d. ago José Mourinho says he wants results not memories after defeat on Chelsea return

Mourinho’s Benfica beaten 1-0 in Champions League‘We deserved something. The goal is the only mistake’José Mourinho said that he is sustained by wins rather than memories after the Benfica manager endured a 1-0 defeat on his latest return to Chelsea.Mourinho, winless in his past seven trips to his old club, was grateful to receive a fine reception from the Stamford Bridge crowd on Tuesday.

One-nil to Chelsea, a messy own-goal the difference, a defensive display solid enough to raise belief for tougher assignments to come. It was enough given the context, so much so that José Mourinho probably even appreciated the efficiency. He was back at Stamford Bridge to witness it all – a greyer figure these days, no longer the explosive touchline presence of old – and had little to offer beyond a few humble waves when the home fans sang their former manager’s name.Chelsea avoid any stumbles on their trip down memory lane. The narrative about how Mourinho’s return would show how far his old club’s standards have dropped never materialised. There was no alchemy from the 62-year-old; no expert tactical plan to confound Enzo Maresca. Then again the Mourinho of 2025 is not in charge of one of the Champions League’s giants.
