Chelsea have secured a perfect start in their Champions League quarter final second leg away at Real Madrid with a 1-0 lead in Spain.
However, with Tuchel calling on his players to produce a historic performance in front of the travelling fans, England star Mason Mount has put them in front after 16 minutes.
That's the perfect start for Chelsea! 🔥
A fortunate way through for Mason Mount, but there was nothing fortunate about the finish… 🎯

Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s neat lay off in midfield released Mount to break in behind the hosts defence and Mount powered home past former Blues stopper Thibaut Courtois.
With no away goals in this season’s Champions League, Chelsea can potentially take the game to extra time with another goal, if Real Madrid are unable to find a goal themselves, inside 90 minutes.
