Jose Mourinho incredibly pleaded with his supporters to stop berating ex-Benfica star Enzo Fernandez during their clash with Chelsea.
The Argentinian midfielder ruined his relationship with Benfica when he forced a move to Chelsea in 2023 worth some £120million.
Tuesday saw Fernandez face his former side for the first time since his departure and the Benfica supporters wasted no time in making clear their feelings on the 24-year-old.
As Fernandez limbered up to take a corner in front of the away support at Stamford Bridge, Benfica fans brutally hurled objects such as drinks bottles at him amid pleas from Jose Mourinho to stop.
