The Blues host the Spanish giants at Stamford Bridge in what’s going to be a full house as the supporters were able to buy tickets for the quarter-final tie.
The Premier League’s operating license denies tickets to people who are not season ticket holders, which explains the flat atmosphere during Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat to Brentford on Saturday.
But ahead of a key European clash, Tuchel wants the club faithful to rally behind them and make their home advantage count.
He said:
Chelsea beat Real Madrid 3-1 on aggregate last season en route to lifting their second Champions League title but both legs were played behind closed doors.
Tuchel acknowledges how crucial it is to have the fans back at the Bridge for big nights like this and appealed to fans to turn up in numbers to support them.
He added:
Chelsea boss warns last season’s win means nothing
The Blues beat Los Blancos 2-0 at home following a 1-1 draw in the Spanish capital to advance into the finals but Tuchel feels last year’s result means nothing now.
He said:
Chelsea and Real Madrid meet for just the second two-legged contest in Champions League history, having clashed for the very first time last year.
