Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel enjoyed a joke with his staff impersonating Pep Guardiola on Friday.

The German is looking to secure his first title at Blues boss since taking over in January with a win in the Champions League final against Manchester City.

The Daily Star says footage has emerged of Tuchel showing he has picked up a lot from Guardiola on the sidelines - by appearing to do an impression of his rival.

In the clip, the Chelsea boss is on an open balcony with some of the coaching staff in Porto where the Champions League final will take place on Saturday.

The German puts on an energetic display, pulling at his jacket while waving his arms around in the air.

Tuchel can be seen speaking rapidly, moving his arms as if to correct a staff member while also tapping fiercely at his own forehead.

With the German's team laughing, he suddenly looks out to the distance - and sees a camera which caught all the action.

But the 47-year-old sees the funny side of the situation, giving the camera a cheeky wave before returning to talk of the Champions League final.
