Thomas Tuchel insists Chelsea will try to beat Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final despite Christian Pulisic's away goal in Spain... as he warns his players not to 'lose our heads' if Sergio Ramos starts

Thomas Tuchel has insisted Chelsea will go for the jugular against Real Madrid on Wednesday night, despite having a vital away goal in their Champions League semi-final.

Christian Pulisic's first-half strike in Madrid last week has the Blues in pole position and a home win or goalless draw will guarantee their progress to the final.

However, their first-leg advantage has led to debate over whether Tuchel will go for victory or try to defend their away goal and hope Real do not score one of their own.
