After moving into the semi-finals of the Champions League with Chelsea, coach Thomas Tuchel pointed out the peculiarity of this success.

“If you look at the story you can see that this is a great achievement for all of us, it is not normal for you to arrive there.

The semi-finals in the Champions League are a big deal, ”he said after the 0-1 draw against FC Porto on Tuesday evening.

Thanks to the 2-0 win in the first leg, it was enough to make it into the top four football teams in Europe for the first time since 2014. “We are very happy that we are there and we take everything we can to learn and to grow, ”continues Tuchel.

Tuchel had apparently said something to the Portuguese bank beforehand.

“I was offended by this gentleman.

I told the referee that the fourth official heard these insults.

That's all, "Conceição explained in an interview with" TVI24 ", without naming Tuchel.

According to the Portuguese newspaper "Record", Tuchel is said to have thrown a "Fuck off" at his coaching colleague.

Conceição avoided the topic at the press conference after the game: “My English is not perfect, it doesn't make sense to talk about it.

I don't know why he reacted.

But I didn't get it very well.

I've heard some insults but that is over now.

It's not nice and my annoyance had something to do with it. "

For Tuchel and Chelsea it is now in the semi-finals of the premier class against the winner of the duel between league competitor FC Liverpool with coach Jürgen Klopp and Real Madrid around national player Toni Kroos.

This game will be played on Wednesday.

Tuchel still has the chance to win two titles in his first season in England.

The FA Cup will face Manchester City in the semi-finals on Saturday.
