Portuguese Premier League Benfica defeated Vicente 2-1. At the post-match press conference, Mourinho was asked about his question about his Champions League match against his old club Chelsea next week.

What would it feel like to return to Stamford Bridge?

Mourinho: "I'll visit my son in London, and that's the best thing. If possible, I hope to get the points I've lost on Karabach. But Chelsea is an amazing club, they also lost their first game, and they need points. I'm glad to come back.

"I'm glad that the Chelsea I coach is a winning team, with great investment and ambitiousness. Later they seemed a little lost, which was tough for those who loved the club. After Maresca arrived, the puzzles were being pieced together one by one, and they won the European Union. Now I think they have a very good player. ”

Regarding Palmer's injury

Mourinho: "Palmer's absence is not a problem for Chelsea. If Sudakov or Pavlidis can't play, that's a big problem for me. ”
