Kai Havertz’s brace was enough for the Blues to seal the win and provide a boost of confidence ahead of the crucial game against Real Madrid. It has been a while since Thomas Tuchel’s side hasn’t scored more than once in the game, and they managed to improve their attacking record in the last match. On the other hand, defese is still very disciplined, as this was their fourth time in the previous five games to keep the clean sheet.
