Takes Chelsea FC To The Champions League Final, Tuchel Records History
JAKARTA - Thomas Tuchel made history after Chelsea beat Real Madrid to earn a place in this season's Champions League final.
The Blues won 3-1 on aggregate thanks to a 2-0 return leg win at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. They will face Manchester City in Istanbul later this month.
Tuchel has been doing an outstanding job since replacing Frank Lampard as Chelsea manager in January. He is now making European Cup history with his latest achievement.
According to Opta, Tuchel has just become the first manager in Champions League or European Cup history to reach successive finals with two different clubs.
Tuchel was also a finalist with Paris Saint-Germain last season. But had to lose to Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, the match against City will of course not be an easy match for Chelsea.
However, given the Blues' recent win over the Citizens in the FA Cup semi-finals, Tuchel clearly knows what it takes to be the better of Pep Guardiola.
