Thomas Tuchel’s side went into the second leg of the quarter-finals encounter with a Two-goal lead and were just barely lucky not to surrender to the Portuguese side, which was by far the best team of the night, and though they got a late goal, thanks to Mehdi Taremiit’s absolute belter, it wasn’t enough to stop the Blues from progressing.ย

GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Porto (Taremi 90'+4).
