Well, it’s time for a nice little break from all the drama. It’s time for some football! (At least I hope there won’t be too much drama.)
Chelsea carry a 2-0 lead from the first leg, which makes the first goal scored tonight especially important. There is no away-goals rule this year, so a straight up aggregate score will win the tie, with extra time and penalties tonight if necessary.
Tuchel has gone for wing-backs, but also an extra midfielder, to help lock things down.
Here we go!
