CL: Spotlight on Chelsea’s wasteful Timo Werner

Timo Werner

Chelsea welcome Real Madrid to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday still with much to do to reach the Champions League final after failing to land the killer blow when the 13-time European champions were on the ropes in last week's first leg.

A 1-1 draw in Madrid still gives the Blues the upper hand thanks to their away goal, but Thomas Tuchel's men could have had a much more convincing advantage but for a tale of two strikers. Chelsea's Timo Werner missed a glorious chance to put his side in front early as the outstretched leg of Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois denied his old club. Now, the chance to knock Real Madrid out in the Champions League semi-finals, is the perfect stage to prove his worth.
