A warm reception from fans

Before the match, Mourinho noted that he is still 'The Special One' at 'Chelsea', and his warm welcome at the club only confirmed this.

One staff member, Teresa Connolly, hugged him during his return to the stadium.

Brian Pullman, who has worked at 'Chelsea' for 55 years, brought Mourinho his favorite cookies. Pullman, a familiar face in the media room, hugged the coach and placed cookies with creamy filling on the table in front of him.

This tradition dates back to Mourinho's first term as 'Chelsea' manager from 2004 to 2006. The Portuguese took another bite of a cookie before speaking to the press, as he did in 2010 after Inter's victory over 'Chelsea' in the Champions League.

Fans joyfully watched this moment, one of them wrote:

“This is so sweet.”

Another added:

“This is incredible, respect and class always remain.”
