While the Eagles face a tough task at Stamford Bridge in the 2nd leg, goalkeeper Artur claims that his side can turn around the tie on the 4th of April.
"We all feel a huge sense of emptiness after this match. We had enough chances to score, but that's football and these are the kind of matches in which experience is of huge importance and little details can decide things. I think we can play another good
match in London and we can get a different result."
"We were looking to score throughout the whole match and you could see that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 respected Benfica a lot. It's really tough to have ended the match like this, knowing we could have got another result. Chelsea only scored one goal and didn't have many
chances,” he said.
