Liverpool or Real? Thomas Tuchel reveals preference for Champions League semi-finals

  Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he prefers not to face teams from the same league as his sides in Europe as Chelsea qualified for the semi-finals and are waiting for their opponent. The Blues qualified after having celebrated a 2-1 on aggregate win over Porto. Tuchel's side will either face Liverpool or Real Madrid in the semis. The pair will face each other on Wednesday as Real heads into the game with a 3-1 lead. "I don’t wish for nothing but in general I like it in Champions League not to play teams from your own league," the Chelsea manager told BT Sport. "Because it gets a bit more the feeling of the European competition but that’s the only thing. "Whover deserves it – I think the game is far from over – but I will watch it for sure. "It’s a pleasure to watch it as semi-finalists, a great achievement. Tomorrow we will watch these games and there is nothing decided yet. Everything is possible. "Liverpool is very strong at home, the Premier League is strong. We take what we get, it’s a good situation for us."   source - Metro / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
