Benfica's devil's home court is well-deserved! Mourinho's team is still sealed!

2. One month ago, in the preseason friendly match of Fenerbache visiting the Stadium of Light, Benfica defeated Fenerbache 3-2. Fenerbahce had the advantage in possession, shots and positive shots, but failed to translate into goals.

Benfica is very resilient and has won a reputation for himself, and the future is promising!

3. Before this game, in Fenerbahce coach Mourinho's coach, he had only one defeat in 10 matches with Benfica, so he had a great psychological advantage.

But it is incredible that Mourinho lost to Benfica for the second time in his career!

4. Benfica was in excellent form in the new season, winning all 6 official games (including cup, qualifying and league), and not losing a single goal, showing strong defensive stability. The first leg was decisive and tactical discipline. Benfica's first-class defense is amazing!

Two indisputable facts:

1. Mourinho last led the team to play in the Champions League on March 10, 2020, when he coached Tottenham Hotspur. In the second leg of the 2019/20 Champions League 1/8 finals, Tottenham lost to Leipzig 0-3 away, and was eliminated 0-4 in the final score. After that game, Mourinho coached Rome and other teams, but was unable to lead the team to the Champions League again. Until 2024, he became the head coach of Fenerbahce. Fans are looking forward to him leading the team into the Champions League and continuing his UEFA Champions League legend. However, Fenerbahce drew 1-1 with Lille in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, and was eliminated 2-3 in the total score. Mourinho's desire to lead the team to the Champions League again was temporarily disappointed! Now Fenerbahce can only compete in the Europa League for two consecutive seasons!

2. Fenerbahce has entered the Champions League stadium in a total of 6 times in history! Among them, the last time they advanced to the Champions League was in the 2008-09 season. Since then, they have failed many times in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, such as the 2013-14 playoffs, which was swept by Arsenal in two rounds by 5 goals. And now, Mourinho's arrival has injected new vitality into Fenerbahce. In 2025, under Mourinho's coach, Fenerbahce reversed Feyenoord 5-2 at home in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, and advanced 6-4 in the total score. The fans were full of expectations, hoping that Mourinho could lead Fenerbahce to break the Champions League drought for many years, continue to write glory on the Champions League stage, and launch a high-profile impact on the higher honors, but once again ended in failure!

Fenerbahce shot 6 times and 0 shots on the right. According to Opta statistics, Mourinho coached Fenerbahce 62 games, which is the first time that Fenerbahce scored 0 shots in the official game during his coaching period!
