We need fantastic script to beat Madrid, says Tuchel

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says his side will need a “fantastic script” to defeat Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final.

The defending champions will lock horns with Real at Bernabeu, with the kick-off set for 21:00.

The German mentor reckons that the Blues are allowed to “dream” as they will try to overturn a two-goal deficit following their 3-1 loss at home last week.

“It is one of the biggest challenges to perform away at the Bernabeu,” said Tuchel.

“It is even more difficult if you have to earn a certain result if you need to win with a minimum of two goals or better or maybe a three-goal difference. That makes it almost impossible and very, very difficult, but still, it is worth trying.

“We need nothing else than a fantastic script that we want to be able to overcome this.

“The task is incredibly high, and the challenge is incredibly high given the circumstances of the first leg, where we play, against whom we play and at what stage we play this kind of match.

“It’s always allowed to dream. It is sometimes important to imagine things and to dream about it, but it will not shift the focus from the fact that we need to deliver and we need to be ready.”
