Milan 17,964 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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).
