Golden Handchen of Thomas Tuchel
Tuchel built Chelsa's team considerably. Defender Antonio Rüdiger was in the initial formation of the previous year's finalist one of only two players, which had also started against Liverpool.
While Kai Hanctz was allowed to take a break at the club world champion after his strong appearances in recent weeks, Rüdiger's second national team Timo Werner was also a probationary chance in the storm of the starting eleven as the most recently controversial scorer Romelu Lukaku.
Tuchel thus proved a golden knuckle: Werner (68.) and Lukaku (78th) still turned the game in favor of the blues. Chelseas's first compensation had achieved the Spaniard Saul Niguez (27th).
