Chelsea vs Benfica Live Streaming, Champions League 2025-26: Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is under increasing pressure following a nightmare beginning to the season. Recent setbacks to Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, Joao Pedro, and Andrey Santos have necessitated tactical changes. Defensive solidity has also been an issue following the surprise home defeat to Brighton and the thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League opening match. Chelsea must win at Stamford Bridge to shore up their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
Jose Mourinho, returning to the Champions League with Benfica, has begun on a promising note with two victories and one draw. Benfica play a strong 4-2-3-1 system, with Evangelos Pavlidis spearheading the attack. Emerging stars Sudakov, Ludebakio, and Schjelderup complement Pavlidis, with veteran defender Nicolas Otamendi marshaling the defense and guiding the backline.
