Football fans, grab your scarves! 🧣 Jose Mourinho made an emotional return to Stamford Bridge as Benfica arrived for Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League clash against Chelsea. The legendary coach, who led the Blues to three Premier League titles and an FA Cup, declared at Monday’s press conference: "I will always be a blue."
💬 "I’m part of their history, and they’re part of mine," said Mourinho, now managing Benfica. While emphasizing his commitment to the Portuguese giants, he added: "Big responsibility, even for a guy like me with so many years… of age and football!" 🔥
Since signing a two-year deal in September, Mourinho has steered Benfica to two wins and a draw. But Tuesday’s match revives old rivalries: Chelsea beat Benfica twice in the 2011-12 Champions League quarterfinals. Will history repeat, or will Mourinho’s new chapter stun his former club? ⏳
One thing’s clear: Stamford Bridge will roar for the 'Special One' – even if he’s now wearing enemy colors. ⚡
