Pedro Neto believes Chelsea showed "resilience" in the 1-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday but backs his side to do "even better" before hosting Premier League champions Liverpool on Saturday.

"We learned a lot from the first game [in the 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich] and we are really happy," Neto told Chelsea's club website.

"I think the team did really well. We knew the difficulties we had in the first game and we tried to work hard to manage moments in this game. I think we showed the resilience of the team.

"Benfica are a tough team to face at home. We knew we would have to work hard. We played well, we could've controlled the match more with the quality we have, but we are really happy with the three points.

"I always try to improve and do the best for the team, and I think we worked hard as a group. It's a really important win.

"A win in this competition, the Champions League, shows what we can do, and I think we can do even better. We will be ready to play against Liverpool."
