“A very exciting meeting” for Tuchel and Chelsea against Real Madrid

Thomas Tuchel (GER/Chelsea coach) against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final according to the draw made on Friday: “It will be tough, the challenge could not be more difficult with the return to the Bernabeu (this could change, Madrid’s other club, Atlético, also having to play its second home game, editor’s note), but it’s also a very exciting meeting. It’s always good (to avoid English teams), because these are European evenings, and it’s always more pleasant to play European teams and not, at this level, teams that you meet so many times in domestic competitions. Not being able to sell tickets to our fans (because of the sanctions against the Russian owner of Chelsea) would be a disadvantage, it’s a game for the spectators, the game is really too different without them, I hope we find a solution”.
