Tuchel embraces the challenge of repeating Chelsea heroics at the Bernabeu

All to play for in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu after Bayern Munich and Real Madrid delighted football fans with a thrilling 2-2 draw that paves the way for a thrilling second leg in which one of the two teams that will play in the Champions League final at Wembley will be decided. 

The Santiago Bernabeu is the nightmare stadium for any team in the world in the Champions League, but Tuchel already managed to claim victory there with Chelsea, despite being eliminated by the "Merengues" as the Spanish side had thrashed the Blues at Stamford Bridge in the first leg. 

"It's not important if I know it. The important thing is that it's four steps and we had two, so there are two more to go. We can create chances at the Bernabeu," the German coach told reporters.

"It's very difficult, but we have to try. We can forget the result and start with a clean sheet. We have to win and that can be good for the attitude. We have to be brave and very focused", he concluded.
