In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Benfica faced Bayer Leverkusen at home. 0-1, Mourinho's team lost again. After coaching Benfica for 48 days, Mourinho led the team to play 3 Champions League games, resulting in 3 consecutive losses and 0 goals scored. Counting his time coaching Tottenham, Mourinho has lost all of his last six Champions League games.

Benfica and Bayer Leverkusen can be said to be brothers in distress. In the first 3 rounds of the Champions League, Benfica had 0 points, while Pharmaceuticals had 2 draws and 1 loss without a win. In this Champions League battle, Benfica had a clear advantage. Of the 21 shots in the game, 6 were on target and 2 were in the frame, while Leverkusen shot 7 times and 3 were on target. However, Pharmacy's counterattack in the 65th minute put Benfica in a desperate situation:

Schick's shot was saved by Benfica goalkeeper Trubin. Benfica's defense was not clear, and Schick succeeded with a header and scored the only goal of the game.

For Benfica fans, in addition to despair, they are still despair. In the Champions League this season, Benfica is surrounded by many heroes. The eight opponents are Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Naples, Chelsea, Juventus, Ajax, Newcastle United, and Qarabach. In the first round of the Champions League, Benfica lost an unexpected 2-3 to Karabakh. The team invited Mourinho to coach, but the madman could not turn the tide.

In the three Champions League games in charge of Benfica, Mourinho suffered three consecutive losses: 0-1 loss to Chelsea, 0-3 loss to Benfica, and 0-1 loss to Leverkusen. After losing 3 games in a row in the Champions League and scoring 0 goals, the 62-year-old Mourinho also lost.

Including the 2019-20 season when coaching Tottenham, Mourinho has suffered 6 consecutive defeats in the Champions League! In the 2019-20 season, Tottenham lost to Bayern 1-3 on the field, lost to Leipzig 0-1 at home in the 1/8 finals, and lost to Leipzig again 0-3 away from home. Six consecutive defeats in the Champions League, this is the worst record in Mourinho's coaching career.

The scary thing is that Benfica and Mourinho seem to have no hope of winning the Champions League.

In the next 4 Champions League games, Benfica will challenge Ajax away (also losing 4 consecutive games), face Napoli at home, face Juventus away, and face Real Madrid at home. If they fail to win Ajax, Benfica is likely to end with 0 wins. In the Portuguese Super League, Benfica scored 24 points after 10 rounds, 4 points behind Porto at the top and 1 point behind Sporting CP. Mourinho's road to challenge is still difficult.
