A Richard RΓos own goal was enough for Chelsea to get their first Champions League points on the board.
At 24 years exactly, this was Chelsea's youngest-ever average starting lineup age in a UEFA Champions League game.

3 points is what matters but not an overall good showing by Chelsea, defended when it counted most. #CHEBEN #ChampionsLeague #UCL
Agreed but thought Pedro was unlucky; played the ball and didn't touch the Benfica diver.

FT: Chelsea 1-0 Benfica
Won a game on an own goal.
Everything else was putrid. This team looks like ass. #cheben
This is not how I wanted to win this match, how I thought this team could have and should have won this match, but a win is a win.
motm today is Neto #cheben
#CHEBEN And it's good night from him! (been longing to do that joke)
HT: Chelsea 1-0 Benfica
Just about good enough, I guess? #cheben
Every credit to Jose Mourinho for walking down the touchline and gesticulating to some Benfica yobs not to throw items at Enzo Fernandez.
Never seen that before; should happen more often as it made them stop.
#CHEBEN
Benfica fans chucking stuff at Enzo - Jose matches down touchline and signals them to stop #CHEBEN
Tyrique George seems a nice young man but Iβm going to call it and say that he should never lead the line again
Neto would be much better up front or Guiu or Mheuka
#Chelsea
#CHEBEN
Iβd have been pleased with that one and Iβm an own goal specialist

OWN GOAL! CHELSEA LEAD!
Neto continues to cause problems as he finds Garnacho at the far post, whose cross is steered into the net by a Benfica defender!
1-0 18' #cheben
Maresca playing Russian Roulette with his selection against.
Just win! #ChelseaFC #CHEBEN
Iβm watching at home. Can hardly bear to think about what the next 90 minutes (plus god knows how long in added time) holds #CHEBEN
I have to say seeing Jose Mourinho feels like seeing the favorite uncle you haven't seen in a whileπ
For me anyway!
Love him stillπ
#UCL #CHEBEN
Itβs not that Iβve lowered the bar with this goon in charge but if we finish the match with 11 players, I will take that as a win. #CHEBEN
Our youth winning big earlier against Benfica youth means we will be shit against Benfica!
Take that to the bank!π

Alejandro Garnacho, Facundo Buonanotte and Tyrique George are among those who come in for Chelsea against Benfica tonight.
JosΓ© Mourinho names Vangelis Pavlidis up front, who scored both goals in Benfica's 2-1 win over Gil Vicente on Friday.

UCL GAMEDAY! I'm going with the principle of starting players in their best postitions. Later, we get to see a Chels legend once again. Let's cut out the reds, make positive subs & the 3 points will be ours, right? #CheBen #Championsleague #coyb #utc
Game day... #Worldchampions v Benfica #CHEben #UYL #UCL β½οΈ
