Mourinho was stunned.

Coach Jose Mourinho was pensive during Benfica's 0-3 away defeat to Newcastle in the third round of the Champions League qualifying round in the early morning of October 22.

Despite their best efforts, Mourinho and his team could not escape defeat against the home team Newcastle, who took full advantage of their opportunities.

This is Benfica's third defeat in three Champions League matches under Mourinho this season, causing the Portuguese representative to fall to 34th place out of 36 teams in the qualifying round.

Throughout the match, Mourinho stood directing his players on the sidelines and continuously made adjustments at many times.

Benfica played proactively in the first half but lost their rhythm in the second half and were exploited by Newcastle. The moment Mourinho sat absentmindedly on the coaching bench showed the helplessness of the "Special One".

Speaking after the match, Mourinho said: “It was just a matter of quality. Their second goal was a psychological blow. Their wingers have speed and strength, and they have four of them."

Mourinho also praised Anthony Gordon, Newcastle's best player. Gordon also made Champions League history by becoming the first Newcastle player to score in three consecutive matches in this arena.

After a dream start, Mourinho is starting to feel the pressure at Benfica. In the last 5 matches, the Portuguese club has won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Mourinho was disappointed with the 90+1 minute masterpiece. In the early morning of September 24, Jose Mourinho's Benfica could only draw 1-1 with Rio Ave at home stadium Da Luz in round 6 of the Portuguese National Championship.
