+++ UPDATE +++

London - New chance for Thomas Tuchel: After losing the final with PSG against FC Bayern *, the coach can now move into the final with FC Chelsea *.

After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, the starting position is good, but the opponent is Real Madrid *.

There was excitement before the game around Real star Marcelo, who had drawn the unfavorable lot of helping out as an election worker in the local elections in Madrid.

The law says: If a citizen of the city is selected, he must also fulfill this civic duty.

Los Blancos feared he might not be available for the game in London because of this - and tried in vain to release him from this duty.

shows, the Brazilian, who also has a Spanish passport, showed up punctually at the local election office on Tuesday morning. But then there was the good news: An older lady agreed to step in for Marcelo so that he could travel with the team to the English capital just in time. She received 60 euros net for her services from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Was she a real fan? Plan B would have been to fly in a private jet.

With or without Marcelo, a difficult task awaits the “Blancos”, because the Blues are currently in excellent form, especially defensively.

A 0-0 would be enough for the Tuchel team.

“It will be exciting,” promises the German coach.

"We are full of self-confidence and look forward to these games at the highest level."
