Mourinho's Custard-Cream Reunion at Chelsea Follows Benfica's 1-0 Loss

The post-match gesture with longtime staffer Brian Pullman underscored his enduring bond with Stamford Bridge.

Overview

  • Chelsea beat Mourinho’s Benfica 1-0 in a Champions League match at Stamford Bridge.
  • Entering the press room, Mourinho twice asked, "Where are my cookies?" and was handed custard creams prepared by Brian Pullman.
  • Mourinho hugged Pullman, kissed him on the forehead, ate a biscuit, and left with the remaining cookies.
  • Pullman worked for Chelsea for roughly 55 years until 2024, and the biscuits are a longtime Mourinho favorite from his first stint at the club.
  • Fans sang Mourinho’s name, and he said Chelsea is part of his story, expressing hope to return one day with his grandchildren.
