In the most recent match returning to the Champions League after more than 5 years of absence, coach Jose Mourinho as captain of Benfica lost 0-1 to Chelsea in early October.
That match was an unsatisfactory return to his old home, but fans can sympathize with Mourinho because Chelsea are much stronger than Benfica.
However, in the second match with Benfica in the Champions League this season, Benfica only had to face Newcastle - an easier opponent.
However, coach Jose Mourinho's team suffered a heavier defeat: 0-3.
This was a match where all the statistics showed that Benfica were clearly inferior to Newcastle. They had fewer shots (5 compared to 14 of their opponents), less possession (48% compared to 52% of Newcastle).
After 1 month of leading Benfica, Coach Mourinho has played 7 matches with this team, won 3, drawn 2 and lost 2. Both of Benfica's defeats took place in the Champions League, which shows that Coach Mourinho is really having difficulties in the arena that helped him build his name.
In the Portuguese Championship, coach Mourinho has not tasted any defeat. But his team is only in third place with 18 points, 4 points behind the leading team Porto. Coach Mourinho's task in the coming time will be very difficult.
