Chelsea Wins First Champions League Game This Season Thanks to Benfica's Own Goal

Chelsea secured their first Champions League victory this season with a helping hand from Benfica's Richard Rios. A cross by Alejandro Garnacho resulted in an own goal, giving the Blues a crucial win. Looking ahead, Chelsea will host Liverpool in their next Premier League match.

Garnacho, who recently joined Chelsea from Manchester United, has been making his mark. Despite appearing in only four matches, starting in two, he has yet to score or assist. However, his impact was clear against Benfica.

Off the pitch, Garnacho has been busy adding to his tattoo collection. His latest addition, 'Nunca es suerte, siempre es Dios' (It's never luck, it's always God), was revealed on his neck. This joins his tribute to the 'ESPn' show 'Prison Break'. Recently, Enzo Maresca, Chelsea's coach, gave Garnacho new training instructions, aiming to further refine his skills.

Garnacho's influence is growing at Chelsea, despite his limited appearances. His impact on the pitch and his personal growth off it are signs of a player finding his feet in a new environment. Chelsea fans will hope to see more of Garnacho in their upcoming clash against Liverpool.
