Touching scenes of the Champions League: Mourinho returns to Blue Bridge, 40,000 people sing! An 87-year-old colleague gives a gift

In the second round of the Champions League phase, Chelsea defeated Benfica 1-0 at home. Mourinho, 62, returned to Stamford Bridge, and 38,636 viewers at the scene welcomed their past merits home with applause and cheers. Mourinho lost, but he still left the Blue Bridge with a smile...

Mourinho is Chelsea's legendary coach, coaching the Blues twice and winning the Premier League championship three times. Nowadays, the press conference hall and honor showroom of Stamford Bridge have posters of Mourinho raising his glass to celebrate that year, which is a symbol of the glory of the Blues. Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge and received the highest courtesy of Chelsea fans. In the battle between Chelsea vs Benfica, fans shouted "José Mourinho" three times. The famous Matthew Harding stands (North stands) and Sheder stands (South stands) in Stamford Bridge sings Mourinho. The scene of 30,000 people applauding and singing made Mourinho quite moved. The 62-year-old madman waved his hand and gave him a blowing kiss to express his gratitude. The BBC said that Mourinho was less arrogant at this time, but sheepishly. He is Benfica's head coach and needs to focus 100% of his attention on the court.

At Stamford Bridge, Mourinho is full of acquaintances. Joe Cole, who commented on the Champions League at TNT Sports, was Mourinho's old player back then. Some old Chelsea employees have also worked with Mourinho.

Chelsea beat Benfica 1-0, and another warm scene happened at the post-match press conference: the media conference room of Stamford Bridge, and media reporters were very familiar with Mourinho. An 87-year-old man received special care from Mourinho. The old man is named Brian Pullman. He has worked in Chelsea's logistics department since 1968. He spent 56 years of his life here and retired in 2024.

Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge, and 87-year-old Brian Pullman rushed to the media conference room to visit Mourinho. Seeing Brian Pullman, Mourinho hugged the old man and said with a smile, "Where is my favorite cookies?"

Brian Pullman pointed at the table and put 6 cream pudding cookies on it. Mourinho started the press conference while eating cookies.

Everything is so familiar, just like going home. Although Mourinho lost, he was not a loser this Champions League night - at least, the heroic and exciting scenes back then could make him feel warm and happy.
