Havertz desperate to start vs Real Madrid after double against Fulham

Kai Havertz hopes he has earned a place in Chelsea's starting XI for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid after firing his side to a 2-0 win against Fulham on Saturday.

The Germany international scored both of the Blues' goals as they picked up a crucial three points in the battle for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Havertz was left out of the squad for his side's win at West Ham last week and was then introduced as a second half substitute as Thomas Tuchel's men drew 1-1 with Madrid in the first leg of the European clash.
