A little bit of stats -

English sides have always progressed when winning the first leg away from home in the knockout stage of this competition (old and new formats).

Despite attempting more than twice as many shots as Chelsea in the first leg (25 to 12), Benfica failed to score for the first time in this Champions League campaign.

Benfica have failed to win any of their last five Champions League meetings against English opposition.

Chelsea have won all of their four Champions League fixtures at home this season, scoring 14 goals in the process and conceding just one.

Chelsea have conceded fewer goals at home than any other team in the Champions League this season (one).

Chelsea have opened the scoring in each of their nine Champions League games this season.

The Blues have now scored in 10 consecutive European matches for the first time in their history (excl. qualifiers).

Is it true?

Hope not. We have so many games coming up. Can't afford to get all these injuries now!

RDM's PC will be held later at 5pm UK time. Lets hope he can give us some real positive news.

Drogba, Meireles and David Luiz all be analysed in terms of their injuries, prior the game against Benfica tomorrow. No other injuries. #CFC

Looks like the news from Daily Fail was BS. Maybe RDM will shed some light regarding the news in his PC later at 5pm UK time.

Adding 2 more stats:

1. Chelsea have a 100% Champions League home record against Portuguese opposition, albeit all coming against Porto - P3 W3 F6 A2.

2. Chelsea's Champions League Home Record(excluding qualifiers) - P54 W34 D15 L5.

Benfica have failed to win any of their last five Champions League meetings against English opposition.

Last 4 actually.
