Chelsea take on Real Madrid tonight and Joe Cole has some clear tips for Thomas Tuchel. Whilst Chelsea's defensive record has taken some hits, most recently with their 4-1 defeat to Brentford, they still have a solid backline. The trio of Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, and Antonio Rudiger have been selected by Thomas Tuchel to take on the threat of Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema.
Speaking pre-match on BT Sports, Cole took a closer look at the potential mismatch between Thiago Silva and Vinicius Jr. "Vinicius is a danger for Real Madrid," he said.
"If I was Thomas Tuchel, I think that’s one of the reasons why he’s gone back to a back three. The link-up between Benzema and Vinicius is great, you cannot let Vinicius run at you, you may have to double up.
