On October 1, in the second round of the Champions League this season, Chelsea beat Benfica 1-0 at home, sweeping away the shadow of two consecutive league losses. In this game, Garnacho entered the team's starting lineup and served as the left winger. In the 18th minute of the game, he made a cross from the penalty area and caused Benfica player Rios to own. With this goal, Chelsea won the first victory of the Champions League season at home. After the game, Maresca praised Garnacho's performance and believed that he performed well on both sides of the offense and defense.

Due to the large number of casualties in the team and the dense schedule, they will face Liverpool at home in the Premier League this weekend. Maresca made 5 personnel adjustments in this game: Reese James, Harto, Andre Santos, Estewan and Joao Pedro withdrew from the start, and Gusto, Badiacile, Faquento Bonanot, Garnacho and George entered the start. This is also the first time Garnacho has won the starter at Stamford Bridge since joining Chelsea for £40 million in the summer window.

The first time he appeared at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea uniform, Garnacho was very direct and always tried to break through Benfica's right back. He completed this task very well and created an own goal from his opponent after passing the penalty area in the 18th minute. It was with this goal that Chelsea won the game 1-0 at home.

Post-match statistics show that Garnacho started for 61 minutes, he touched the ball in a total of 36 times, passed 26 times, and passed 22 times accurately, with a 85% pass success rate. In addition, he had two shots, but unfortunately he missed all of them. In fact, Garnacho's post-match rating would have been higher if it weren't for his two-footed swagger. In the end, "London Football Network" scored a high score of 7 points for him, tied for Enzo and Casedo, second only to his teammate Neto. After the game, Chelsea coach Maresca talked about Garnacho's performance against Benfica. He said: "Garnacho performed very well today. Not only in possession of the ball, he also did a good job in defense and pressing. He has freedom in the frontcourt and can choose to break through one-on-one. It is very important to enter the penalty area because goals often come from there. I am satisfied with his performance." After the game, Garnacho also took the opportunity to respond to his transfer storm this summer. He said: "That time was very difficult, and I could only train alone. But I have no negative comments on Manchester United. Leaving Manchester United was a bad experience in my life. But now I am very happy to be able to play for Chelsea, participate in the Champions League, and today I also helped the team get three points."

This weekend, Chelsea will return to the Premier League and usher in an important showdown - home against defending champion Liverpool. Slott's team won all the first six games of the new season, but lost to Crystal Palace on Saturday and lost to Galatasaray on Tuesday night. In this strong conversation, I look forward to Garnacho continuing to start.
