Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is confident in his side's chances of progressing to the Champions League final.

The Blues are locked at 1-1 against Real Madrid after the away leg, and now face a second leg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

Chelsea managed a 2-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League ahead of the game, and Tuchel spoke about the key midweek tie with reporters afterwards.

"We are absolutely in the situation which you want to arrive in for a crucial match like this," Tuchel said.

"We have nothing to worry about or regret.

"It will be exciting. We feel ready for a big fight and I'm sure we'll need a big performance because Madrid will give us a rough time.

"I am very happy to arrive with this group in the semi-final."
