Thomas Tuchel: Chelsea "very unlikely" to progress past Real Madrid

Thomas Tuchel maintains that Chelsea are "very unlikely" to progress past Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals after last week's first-leg defeat.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel has reiterated that he does not like Chelsea's chances of overturning a first-leg deficit against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Blues were well beaten in last week's fixture at Stamford Bridge, Karim Benzema netting a hat-trick inside 46 minutes to condemn the defending champions to a 3-1 defeat.

However, despite witnessing Chelsea respond to that setback with the 6-0 demolition of Southampton three days later, Tuchel has insisted that it remains "very unlikely" that his side will be able to win by at least a two-goal scoreline at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Tuchel said: "It's not the biggest chance given the first game's result, the competition, the opponent and stadium we play in, but we never manage our input and effort and our belief by the chances that we have for a result.

"We never did and we will not start tomorrow by giving less because it is very unlikely that we make it. It is unlikely but worth trying. Trying means playing to our fullest and playing to the full limit because this is what we do.

"It's a big night and a big match, and we will try to be in better shape and better condition than the first match."

Whoever prevails from the tie will face either Manchester City or Atletico Madrid in the last four of the competition.
