Champions league Semi Finals 2020-21 - April 27-28 and May 4-5

I'll give you the first one but lets not chat nonsense about Kante. He played the same role under Lampard as he does under Tuchel - a box to box midfielder.

Difference is he's being used in a 2 and not in a 3. His energy and movement allows for you to compete with one fewer body in midfield - that's always been the biggest advantage Kante has brought to the table and Tuchel is rightly exploiting that.
 
Chelsea constantly go from having bad manager's and/or bad campaigns to winning major trophies in short succession.

Mourinho 2nd stint, wins PL.
Mourinho has bad following season.
Conte comes in and wins PL.
Conte has bad 2nd season.
Lampard has terrible half-season; Tuchel comes in and gets CL Final.

Just feck off with your scabby turnarounds.
 
Name a better combo, Chelsea and salvaging a failing season. Insane how they keep doing it.
 
No doubt by the time Utd are ready to challenge for this again both Barca and Madrid will be revitalized and on the rise again rather than the slow decline of the last few years.

Poor standard this seasons CL, not bitterness over the finalist, just a little surprise at how comfortable it has been for Chelsea and City. City are very good, but I think they have had better teams in recent years, if not better depth, while Chelsea have looked toothless for most of the domestic season, at least until the change.

But he was still a box to box midfielder, right?
 
I can't remember watching a Real Madrid team and not having the feeling that I would love this guy at United . Such a flat team . Over the two legs they could have lost by 5-6
 
Greetings to PSG and Leonardo haha.

When Tuchel signed for Chelsea I was surprised by the lack of appreciation in this board.
For me he has been a world class coach for years because even if they didn't win the league, his Dortmund side impressed me more than Kloppos.

I'm really, really happy for him.
 
It has taken Chelsea years to rebuild.

But if they chose the wrong replacement it could have still have gone tits up. They're certainly doing something right and have continued to be successful despite being part of the managerial merry-go-round.
 
A can't even qualify for it officially winner again? Save us Man City? Oh for fecks sake... I'm leaning towards Chelsea, only for somehow JT to magically somehow make it about him again, how? I don't know. But it's the only shining light that can come from this.

Nah he was way further up the pitch under Frank and had the worst 18 months in his career. He’s dropped back under Tuchel and must be making 20 tackles/interceptions per game again.
 
Eibar would give us a run for our money atm to be fair. We've been dead on our feet for a month now
You’ve looked awful tonight, I haven’t seen you much outside of that lately.

So leggy and slow. Like all the tops guys hit fathertime at the same time.

To be fair, given how easy most of the English clubs have found these European semis, you have to think they are somehow much fitter than the rest this season.
 
People need to put some respect on this Tuchel side. He's got them playing a great system.
 
Well done Chelsea, but it really sucks without fans. The Chawsee chants would be unstoppable right now.
 
Two all English finals within three years and we weren’t a part of any of them. Yeah there are reasons but that doesn’t make that any less depressing.
 
If City wins the CL does the 5th place team in the PL get to play in the CL?
