Thomas Tuchel set a record for the most Champions League wins after 50 games as a coach in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Lille on Wednesday.
The Blues’ triumph at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in their last-16 second leg put Tuchel on 32 victories from a half-century of matches.
It sent him past the previous benchmark set by Zinedine Zidane, who managed 31 wins in his first 50 Champions League games in the dugout.
Chelsea had to come from behind to complete a 4-1 aggregate success against Lille, though. Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta overturned Burak Yilmaz’s opener from the penalty spot to send them into the quarter-finals.
