Chelsea boss Tuchel makes Champions League history

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has made Champions League history.

Tuchel boss saw his side fight back from behind to win 2-1 against Lille last night.

Goals from Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta either side of the break ensured a safe passage into the quarters for the holders.

And those goals also confirmed Tuchel's 32nd win as a manager in the competition.

That drew the German equal with compatriot Jupp Heynckes as the coach with the most victories inside his first 50 matches in the competition.

However, Heynckes secured 32 wins from a total of 47 games in charge - winning it in 2013 in his third stint as Bayern Munich boss.

Tuchel bettered former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane's tally of 31 from his opening 50.
