I wonder if they make him a nice cup of tea?

He probably gets fed and watered. He will be treated as a special guest, much like Southgate. And WHU will bring out the jellied eels for Thomas Tuchal in due course

[trackdemon]

Theoretically this makes things easier.... but that's not a red and I'd rather he didn't get sent off. fking VAR Still a long way from the kind of performance we'd like to see, but winning football is winning football. Hope we can build on defensive solidity next season, it's not like we're lacking in good attacking players in the squad

[Wadeski]

Werner scoring from open play is important though. A run of form from him at the end of the season would be huge for us, with RM coming up in the CL...

[trackdemon]

Pulisic.... bit of player isn't he

[Gadgetmac]

Good result, a shame that you didn’t do better as they were there for the taking. Still, you were the better team on the night no doubt about it.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

A 1-1 draw away at RM seems like a great result, until you watch the game. Huge chance to kill the tie off has been missed. Should have been 3 up after 20 mins. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt us. Very frustrated. Some terrible final balls were played. So many over hit passes when a good pass would have put someone in on goal.

Good result, but it could have been better.

Real aren't the team they were, but they do manage to grind out results.

Just goes to show what a savvy experienced manager is worth!

One thing’s for sure. TT’s doing wonders for his future market value.

The difference between what we’re seeing on the pitch now and what we were enduring under Frank is stark.

Surely there can't be anyone left who thinks we should have stuck with Frank?

[franki68]

TT has done an incredible job for you,really looking like a very awkward team to play against.No question you should go through to the final although with Real they have some weird knack of not being all that good but able to win the champions league.

[Wadeski]

While it was disappointing we didn't put 2 past them when we were on top in the first half...its still a decent result. They tore Liverpool to pieces in their first meeting.

[smn159]

Couldn't believe how good we looked against that level of opposition in the first 30 mins or so. TT had done a great job.

Werner is great, but he does need to miss about eight sitters for every goal that he scores at the moment.

[TwigtheWonderkid]

A comfortable 2-0 win oover Fulham, and today, the women has beaten Bayern 4-1 to reach the WCL Final, having lost the first leg 2-1. Brilliant result, final against Barca on 16 May.

Long way to go, but how amazing would it be for the men and women to both reach the CL final, and both win!!

[TwigtheWonderkid]

So, a CL final, but given the chances we squandered, if that had gone tits up, we could have had no complaints.

The league table doesn't lie, and if both teams are at their best in the final, City will beat us. But getting to the final is brilliant. It would be great to win it but I won't be suicidal, like I was in 2008, if we lose.

I'd love to win to have 2 CL wins to our name, so if another London club did win it, like WHU or Palace, we'd still be one ahead.

Same feelings here...... but to be the only team in Europe ever to have won all three European trophies twice would also be something

I see what you did there ...

Great performance. Ramos looked his age tonight, jesus. A lot of chances wasted but a good result. As you say, the league position doesn’t lie. City will be big favourites, but it’s all on the night.

[Driver101]

I did think Real would manage to scrape a win somehow tonight, but they were poorer than I thought they would be. Chelsea deserved to win comfortably over the two legs.

They said on BT people are getting to go to the final?

[A Winner Is You]

Can't belive how poor Real were, absolutely no urgency even in the closing minutes. Fulham provided more of a threat, even if until the second goal I was certain they'd have one chance and equalise.

[Leicester Loyal]

Anything can happen in a one off game, an injury, a blunder, an early red card, a wonder goal, you never know!

Madrid were poor tonight, 5-0 would have been about a fair result, well played.

Mahrez vs. Kante & Chilwell, nice!
