Chelsea 1–0 Benfica | Special Once

It wasn't pretty, but Chelsea have their first Champions League win in two and a half years.

Chris and Joe break down the Benfica grind: Caicedo’s near-perfect passing, Neto’s menace, and why Garnacho looked ready while Gittens… didn’t. We get into Badiashile’s mixed bag, Gusto being targeted, and how Reece settled the chaos when he came on.

Then it’s Liverpool on Saturday: selection headaches at centre-back, Lavia watch, and the case for Estêvão when one moment of magic might be the difference.

All that and more.
