Tuchel Eyes Champions League Glory With Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel has revealed he came to Chelsea to win titles and remains confident that the club has what it takes to complement his ambition.

The Blues are favourites to qualify for the Champions League semi-final after beating FC Porto 2-0 in the first league of the quarter-final.

Chelsea last won a trophy when Maurizio Sarri led them to hoist the Europa League in 2019 in Baku at the expense of Premier League rivals Arsenal.

After going trophyless last season under Frank Lampard, Chelsea are in contention for this season’s Champions League and the FA Cup.

The West Londoners hold the aces going into the second leg of the Champions League against the Portuguese side on Tuesday, and will be facing Manchester City at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

Tuchel was asked in his press conference if the Champions League is his side's clearest path to a trophy this season, he replied: "Maybe when you are in the final.

"We are in the second leg of the quarter-final of the Champions League, you will not find any team who does not have the goal to reach the semi-final.

"We are in the semi-final of the FA Cup and have the chance to arrive in the final, if we arrive in the final then we have the chance to win.

"There is nothing to hide. This is a club that has culture, a structure, to win titles and win games consecutively. Chelsea is the club that has the culture and the history and mentality to do so.

"I am here to win titles, I am here to win games and as a result, win titles. This is what I demand of myself so why should we now say anything different? If you want to win in five years or three years, I don’t know what that is.

"Now is the time but honestly we can talk for hours and hours but tomorrow is the game to play and there is no tougher match than the next game, there is no tougher obstacle than the one in front of you and we should not get lost in dreams, hopes and speeches or whatever.

"We are here to perform in the second leg of the quarter-final, this is what we do and then hopefully after tomorrow we can talk about a semi-final."
