Chelsea are serious about signing Erling Haaland this summer and will ‘go all out for him’, find out more here.

The boss was ‘super happy’ with the result after the game knowing what a tough game it could have been. But in the end it was just a matter of breaking down a stubborn Atletico side and creating the chances to grab the important away goal.

It was something special from Olivier Giroud in the end, but what an important and good win it was for Chelsea.

Tuchel was pleased, but not getting too carried away after the game with a tough run of fixtures coming up, as reported by the Chelsea website.

He said:

“I’m super happy for the players and for my team that we have such a big reward for a top performance.

“It was very important that we were absolutely concentrated for all 96 minutes, that we accepted also that it is very hard to create chances, but we did all that.

“Mount and also Jorginho, we will be missing two crucial players in the next leg, that makes it not easy for us.

“I am very happy with the performance of everybody, that includes Mason. Again a big effort with a high intensity. Playing like this he has a big impact on our team.

“But honestly now we play Man U, Liverpool, Everton and Leeds, and we cannot get too comfortable, we cannot get lazy.

“These games will push us to our limits and then we will think about solutions for the second game against Atletico.”
