Benfica should be able to understand Jose Mourinho if in the end they were defeated by Chelsea because after all he had just been appointed as a coach and certainly needed time to manage the team to be better and directly facing Chelsea was of course a very tough challenge for Jose Mourinho even though Chelsea was his former club but Chelsea's performance had improved so Jose Mourinho no longer recognized the strategy used by Chelsea currently.

Anyone expecting Benfica to win against Chelsea is not being serious. If Mourinho wasn't appointed as Benfica manager of recent would they have expected Benfica to win against Chelsea at Stamford bridge? That aside, Chelsea have just lost to Bayern Munich which is a stronger team than them presently. But Chelsea are stronger than Benfica so they are to win Benfica with or without Jose Mourinho.
