Sour return for Mourinho
The Citizen
|February 25, 2026
Jose Mourinho (above) has not set foot in the Santiago Bernabeu since leaving Real Madrid in 2013, but his Champions League homecoming with Benfica tonight will be far more complicated than initially anticipated.
-
Mourinho cannot sit in the dugout for the playoff second leg after being sent off during his team’s 1-0 first-leg defeat in Lisbon last week.
The 63-year-old also came under fire for his controversial comments in the aftermath of alleged racial abuse aimed at Madrid star Vinicius Junior by Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni.
The Argentine will miss the second leg after Uefa provisionally suspended him for one game amid an investigation into the incident.
