Chelsea Football Club will, if necessary, refuse entry if the dress code is not met.

Chelsea, who are currently led by their Italian Head Coach Enzo Maresca, take on José Mourinho’s Benfica side at the iconic and historic Stamford Bridge during the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League. The Blues will be looking for a win to give them some further momentum going into the rest of the tournament.

Not only that, victory would take them a step closer to automatically qualifying for the knockout stages via a top eight finish, though the West London-based club will be ultimately targeting the Final, where they would hope to become Champions of Europe once again. Every win is crucial in this prestigious competition.

Chelsea secured qualification for this season’s Champions League after finishing 4th in the Premier League last season, accumulating 69 points from 38 games. They were one of five clubs from England to enter the 2025/26 iteration of this tournament, alongside the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Newcastle United.

Over the years, the Blues have had plenty of success in Europe, including the Champions League, which they have won on 2 occasions to date as of the time of writing. They first won it back in 2012, when they were 4 – 3 winners against German Giants Bayern Munich on penalties after they drew 1 – 1 after extra time.

They next won this competition back in 2021, when they were 1 – 0 winners against fellow English club Manchester City, with German international Kai Havertz scoring the winning goal at the end of the first half (42’).

Chelsea’s other European honours include two UEFA Europa League titles (2013 & 2019), one UEFA Conference League title (2025), 2 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups (1971 & 1998), and finally 2 UEFA Super Cups (1998 & 2021).

Moving on to Benfica, they too have a significant amount of European pedigree. The Portuguese Giants are two time Champions of Europe, having won in consecutive seasons in 1960/61 and 1961/62, with them beating FC Barcelona (3 – 2) and Real Madrid (5 – 3) respectively. The manager for both of these historic triumphs was Bela Guttmann, and the latter triumph saw a Benfica side that included the legendary Eusebio.

The last time that Chelsea and Benfica competed against each other in the history of the UEFA Champions League was in the second leg of their Quarter Final tie at Stamford Bridge back in the 2011/12 season. It was a 2 – 1 win for the Blues thanks to goals from the likes of Frank Lampard (21’ – Penalty) and Raul Meireles (90+2’). This completed a 3 – 1 win on aggregate after they had won 1 – 0 in the first leg away from home. The Blues did, of course, go on to lift the UEFA Champions League for the first time that year.
