In the second round of the Champions League stage, Mourinho led Benfica to Stamford Bridge and finally lost to Chelsea 0-1 away. After the game, Mourinho was interviewed by CBS.

Talking about the game

"I tried to adjust the left winger because I saw Gusto in trouble and Maresca made Gusto difficult, so he replaced him with a better player. This is the challenge to face against Chelsea."

Talking about the fans who welcomed him home

"I thank them. I didn't say on the field that I focused on the game. But when I was in London, we met every day. This bond will last forever - I hope I can bring my grandchildren here in 20 years. They belong to my history, and I belong to their history."
