Ugly moment Enzo Fernandez is pelted by angry Benfica fans in furious reaction after former star forced move to Chelsea - with Jose Mourinho desperately calling for peace

Jose Mourinho incredibly pleaded with his own supporters to stop berating ex-Benfica star Enzo Fernandez during their clash with Chelsea.

The Argentinian midfielder ruined his relationship with the Lisbon-based side when he forced a move to the Premier League in 2023 worth some £106million.

Benfica's Champions League clash with the Blues on Tuesday saw Fernandez face his former club for the first since his departure - and there was certainly no love lost between him and the travelling Benfica support.

As Fernandez limbered up to take a corner in front of the away end at Stamford Bridge shortly before half-time, Benfica fans brutally hurled drinks bottles and other items at him amid desperate pleas from Jose Mourinho to stop.
