José Mourinho said that he is sustained by wins rather than memories after the Benfica manager endured a 1-0 defeat on his latest return to Chelsea.
Mourinho, winless in his past seven trips to his old club, was grateful to receive a fine reception from the Stamford Bridge crowd on Tuesday. But the most successful manager in Chelsea’s history was frustrated in his quest for victory and already faces a challenge to lead Benfica into the knockout stages of the Champions League. It left the 62-year-old reluctant to dwell on his two glorious spells at Chelsea.
