Can Chelsea halt Manchester City’s progress

Tuchel is yet to face City as Chelsea boss but he knows Pep Guardiola well. He faced him at Mainz and then Borussia Dortmund when he was the boss during Guardiola’s time at Bayern Munich. Both of them have kept contact with one another.

Manchester City are still in the running for an astonishing quadruple after their win over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. They have the Carabao Cup final on April 25 and are currently 11 points clear at the top of the league table.

“If you can win consecutive games you can of course win titles because Chelsea is a club that has the culture, the history, the quality and the structure to do so,”

I am here to win games and as a result to win titles. 

This is what I demand of myself, so why now should we say we want to win in two or three or five years. Now is the time.
