The quarterfinals of the European Champions League kickoff on March 27, when Benfica of Portugal hosts England’s Chelsea at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon on March 27. Benfica manager Jorge Jesus said he hoped his team would end up playing Chelsea, and that could be his first mistake since hoping to play a specific team often backfires.
Benfica lost their grip on first place in the Portuguese League over the weekend when they were held to a 0-0 draw away at Olhanense. They’re now one point behind league-leading Porto. Chelsea also played to a 0-0 draw on the weekend when they drew Tottenham Hotspur at home. It hurt fifth-place Chelsea’s’ chances of finishing in the top four, which would guarantee them a berth in the qualification round for next year’s Champions League.
