Chelsea 1-0 Benfica — xTears 16.36 (30/09/25)
Chelsea came back to win 1-0 against Benfica on 30 September 2025 in the Champions League. Total damage: 16.36 xTears.
The real swing for Chelsea arrived through R. Rios 18' own goal (+1.92 xT) and João Pedro 90+6' red card (+1.77 xT), the sequence that changed who owned the match.
The match changed hands after the first blow, and Chelsea's comeback ended up outweighing the opening phase. The match lost its cool with 9 yellows and 1 red. João Pedro eventually walked for a second booking.
