Jose Mourinho thanked Chelsea fans for their reception on his Stamford Bridge return but said memories will not “feed” him after Benfica were beaten 1-0.

Home supporters sang Mourinho’s name as early as the second minute but there was little that came from their former idol or his team to generate an engaging sub-plot to complement a routine Blues victory.
