On Tuesday, November 25, Benfica traveled to Ajax for a UEFA Champions League clash and managed to defeat their opponent 2-0. For the Eagles’ coach, this marked his first victory in years.
Details: The last time José Mourinho managed a team in the UEFA Champions League was with Tottenham. It was with the Spurs that he won his previous match in this tournament, before this game against Ajax.
Back then, Tottenham defeated Olympiacos 4-2 on November 26, 2019—exactly six years ago.
Now Benfica has three points from five Champions League matches and has temporarily moved up to 28th place. Three rounds remain, and their chances of reaching the playoffs are still alive.
Reminder: Chelsea and Barcelona will meet in one of the matchday’s headline fixtures, and the Dailysports team has provided all the key information on where and when to watch the game.
