Tuchel: I had absolute confidence in my players before final duel

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has said he was proud of his players even before Saturday’s Champions League final.

Tuchel oversaw Chelsea’s second triumph in the competition against Manchester City.

He told RMC: “It’s an exceptional final, we won … It’s incredible. I am very proud, but I was already proud. I have a lot of confidence in this group, very strong.

“We are all together, anything is possible. We wanted to have a little more possession, it was difficult in the first few minutes, after that it was better.

“We created some very dangerous chances, but in the second half it was a very hard fight. We tried everything.”
