After thrashing Sporting 5-0 in the first leg of the round of 16, Manchester City are currently the only team with a genuine possibility of reaching the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals in 2021/22. Next week, Chelsea will face Lille in the round of 16 in the 2021/22 Champions League. Thomas Tuchel joined an elite group of managers who have reached successive UEFA Champions League finals after defeating Manchester City in the 2020/21 season final.Since the European cup was renamed UEFA Champions League in 1992/93, only Sir Alex Ferguson and Jurgen Klopp have managed to reach consecutive UEFA Champions League finals. Thomas Tuchel led Paris Saint-Germain to the finals in 2020 and Chelsea to the finals in 2021. Is he capable of becoming the first manager in the history of the UEFA Champions League to take Chelsea to consecutive finals? Yes, it is correct.Chelsea's squad has been revitalized under Thomas Tuchel, and the club has won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea appears to be in good form at the moment, and will most likely eliminate Lille from the competition and progress to the next round. Chelsea has one of the best defensive systems in the league, which is essential for a team to reach the finals. Teams without a strong defense are quickly eliminated from the competition.Chelsea is one of the top ten favorites to win the Champions League this season, indicating that they will almost certainly make it to the final. If Chelsea advances to the following round, they may be pitted against a Premier League foe. Chelsea's forwards may not have been among Europe's top scorers, but their defenders have outscored other top-flight defenders. Tuchel constructed his side in such a way that every player, regardless of position, has the ability to score.
