"Jose Mourinho is back in west London. The Special One returns to Chelsea today with an abundance of memories that swirl around him in his introduction to English football. With three Premier League titles to his name at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho claims he remains the club's best manager. But he will have his work cut out for him. Benfica are without a win in their last seven Uefa competition games against English teams,"
"Two all-time Champions League/European Cup geography records will be broken today as Thomas Frank's Tottenham head north of the Arctic Circle to face Bod/Glimt in the competition's most northerly match ever. And Real Madrid are 30 minutes into their match against Kazakhstan's Kairat Almaty, the competition's most easterly match. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid host Eintracht Frankfurt while Ajax head to Marseille."
Champions League matchday two features high-profile fixtures and notable geography records. Marcus Rashford and PSG stood out on matchday one.
