Thomas Tuchel: Chelsea boss says Real Madrid win 'really huge'

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says Manchester City are the "benchmark", after his side secured a famous win over Real Madrid to set up an all-English Champions League final.

Chelsea will face Pep Guardiola's side in Istanbul on 29 May.

"This is really huge so I'm absolutely delighted with this spirit and big credit to this team," said Tuchel.

"I will say it always, for me Bayern Munich with Manchester City are the benchmark and we wanted to close the gap to Manchester City."

The final at the end of the month will be the fourth time Chelsea and City will have met this season.
