Guillem Balague.

A total natural.

Colin , goal!

Just when you think
you've seen it all!

These are
the traditional fishermen

of the Caparica beaches
in Lisbon.

They spend the day preparing
the nets, helping each other,

casting those nets out into
the cold Atlantic ocean,

hoping to catch some fish
and then sell it on.

And just like them, as well,
Benfica have been in the nets,

all across the world,
to catch the best talent around.

Think of Darwin Nunez,
who went to Liverpool,

and Enzo Fernandez, who went
to Chelsea for a combined

$200 million.

They also have a great history
in the competition.

They won it in 1961 and 1962,
but since then, in Europe,

nothing,
because Bela Guttmann

cast a spell
against Benfica.

Who is Bela Guttmann?

Is there a really curse
against Benfica?

Gracias.

Si, si.

Anyways, it's lunch time and
I've asked to come to O Barbas,

O Barbas restaurant--
Mr. Beard,

we're going
to meet him, as well--

the most famous Benfica fan
in the world.

Wow.

Caught the fish in the morning,

ate it in the afternoon,
and now it's time for siesta,

before the big game tonight,
Benfica Inter.

See you there.

This is definitely one
for all the .

Benfica got a lot
to win here today.

There's a big game here.

Benfica Inter
quarterfinals first leg.

He's looking for that.

And Dimarco's header fell
beautifully for Jadon da Silva.

Bastoni crosses--

That's it!
Inter have the lead!

And the stadium
has gone silent

because Inter Milan
have gone one nil up.

That's a great ball!

Good save!

...comes free to the cross...

There is a bit of an out-check
going on at the moment,

and they're checking
for a potential hand ball.

I believe it's going
to be a penalty.

He's given a penalty.

And now Lukaku has the chance
to put Inter two-nil up.

Two-nil!

And Inter would seem
to have a foot

in the semifinals
of the Champions League!

A couple of moments where
Benfica were just shocked.

Inter deserved to win.

Right, it's a wrap,
and as per usual,

the last one in the place.

It's do or die
in the quarterfinal stage

with the remaining teams
across Europe

battling each other
to reach the semi-finals.

And fortunately, for Benfica,
the curse will change.

Inter strike first!

Lautaro Martinez for Inter!

And that is surely the goal
which will send them

into the semifinals
of the UEFA Champions League

for the first time
in over a decade!

A b*llet...

And Milan have the advantage.

It's a magnificent run
by Rafael Leao.

And still he goes on
and shoots!

What a goal!

Milan are into
the semifinals

of this season's
UEFA Champions League.

...the Nordic
goal machine gets another.

And that may seal it for City.

The final four--

Manchester City will fight with

Italian neighbors,
AC Milan, in Italy.

But who will join them?

Will it be current
champion Real Madrid,

or 2021 winners Chelsea?

A club spiraling
out of control.

What's happened
to Chelsea this season?

It's really hard
to actually put into words.

You've sacked someone
like Thomas Tuchel,

who we know what
Thomas Tuchel's about--

he was a winner,
he won us the trophy

that was so difficult
to win,

and then
you bring in someone

who's got no experience in
handling big clubs, big squads.

That too cool decision--

that was the first
big decision that they got--

they know they got it wrong

because they
obviously hired Potter,

and then sacked
Potter as well.

Slowly it's just got worse
and worse and worse.

What Todd Boehly
has done, though,

is win a bit of time by
getting a legend of the club

to lead the team for a while

while he decides
who's next.

How long did it
take you to say yes?

Nothing is as simple as saying,

"This is my club,
of course I'll come back."

As much as I'm very,
very happy to be back,

I want to come back
where I feel I can help

and you need to have
an understanding

of what the circumstances are
to be able to help.

My heart was... yes.

And then my head needed

a little bit more time
to think about it.

You started at Chelsea,

which was, at the time,
a club that

wanted to win regularly,

-and you managed to do that.
-Hmm.

Was there an anchor,
like a DNA--

something that you think,
"This is Chelsea,

so we've got to help them,"
or... or not?

People talk
about identity a lot.

It's not that we had,
you know, power point meetings

explaining exactly what our
identity was going to be,

it just became us.

Chelsea has never been
a tiki-taka team,

beautiful, you know,
possession-based team.

We had a lot of possession
a lot of the times,

but our strength was
more our strength at times.

When I was growing up,
he was my hero.

Him, John Terry, Didier Drogba--

they were Chelsea.

Even now, when we look back
to that winning team,

and you look at
the squad now,

we don't have enough
Frank Lampards in our team,

we don't have enough
John Terrys, Didier Drogbas--

not even just what
they did on the pitch,

but their leadership,
everything,

they just knew
what it meant to be Chelsea.

One way of judging what is--
what Todd Boehly has done,

as he has been leading
a lot of the decisions

that they spend six hundred
million pounds

with no return on the pitch.

Aubameyang with a tap-in!

Real Madrid in control.

Got the job done and set
the tone for the second leg

in Stamford Bridge
in a week's time.

There's a reality
to where we are,

and I think we need to

understand how we
ought to get better.

We need to grow
the mentality of the group.

We need some time to do that
because not much comes easy.

But what we must do
is retain

the good things
that we had here,

and actually things
I think that this

crowd of people
want to see, you know,

they've probably been fortunate
in the last 20 years

with success we've had.

Just finally,
do you really need this?

All of this, as in
you were a top player...

- Hmm.
- You sorted.

Do you need
any of this, really?

I can't--

I don't know, I can't answer
and not sound .

I'm very proud of my career
and to put me in a good position

in terms of life,
I'm thankful for that.

I enjoy doing
what I'm doing.

It's a very driven,
very pressurized industry,

but I enjoy the challenge.

Kick-off approaching
at Stamford Bridge

as the world's media
prepare for the game to come,

but disaster for me!

The CBS desk is empty!

I'm running late! Argh!

I'm going to be late
to the show.

This never, ever happened.

The GPS says
we will be there...

once the show
is ten minutes in.

I'm gonna be told out
by the floor manager,

by the producer,
by the big boss.

And to all of them,
apologies.

It won't happen again,
I promise you.

Sorry.

Here he is.
- All right.

Ten...

Let's take you over
to Stamford Bridge,

where Guillem Balague
is joining us.

He's run into the stadium
last minute, I'm hearing.

Are you okay?
Gather your breath.

I'm okay.

What's happened?

I was told you
weren't available,

but then they said,
"He is there, he is there,"

so did you literally just
run into the stadium?

Yes.

And what made you late?

Oh, um,

you don't really want to know,
it's a long story.

Okay, long story.

Clearly, clearly,

a Real Madrid win.

But is it?

I bet Chelsea-- there will be
a point in the game

where they will go, like,
"We can get this."

It's gonna be a breather.

Real Madrid
are big favorites to progress

to the semifinals
yet again, but...

If anyone needs
reminding how quickly

these knockout ties
can turn,

it's certainly not them.

Just last April Chelsea went

three-nil-up
in the second leg.

only for Real to stage
one of their

daring escapes in extra time.

...cross, Havertz is there--

Kanté!

Oh, the goal was gaping.

Rodrygo...

...cross, great chance...

good save--
better than that, actually.

Very, very good save
by Thibaut Courtois.

Havertz in towards Kanté,
,

defended by Militao, came to
life , Kanté--

He's denied--
I think it was Militao again.

Rodrygo in pursuit
with Chalobah.

A pursuit that Rodrygo has won
and skimmed Chalobah.

It's Rodrygo and
Ben Chilwell missed it!

And it's kicked in!

Forced in by Rodrygo!

Read Madrid strike first!

Bloody,
that's what they do.

Vinicius,
he has...

Oh, it's a tap-in.

Curtains for Chelsea.

What a lovely move,
you don't see too many of that.

They are the masters of their
universe, Real Madrid.

They have
found their way to

yet another semifinal.

Eleven semifinals
in the last 13 years.

If anybody is gonna take
the European cup

out of Real Madrid's hands,

they're gonna have to be
very, very good, indeed.

To be honest,
there were moments

when Chelsea looked good,
especially in the first half.

But when Real Madrid
just put the next gear,

they just don't have it,
they don't have a clear idea

what they're doing--
they don't defend well,

they don't have players
with big personality,

they don't have
goal scorers.

They keep losing games.

That's not good.

So Real Madrid
got through and will meet

Manchester City, perhaps
the fixture tournament...

and it means we're going
through, into Milan.

And that means we're going
to Milan, ?

Yes, producers, yes,
yes, so we'll do that.
