Tuchel reveals reason Havertz starts ahead of Lukaku

Havertz has started four of the Blues’ last five games, while Lukaku has started just two of them.

The German scored twice in a 4-0 win over Burnley last Saturday, while Lukaku did not come off the bench.

Tuchel responded, “Of course [it’s difficult to leave out Havertz].” He offers a lot of intensity and he’s involved in goals..

“He covers a lot of ground at high intensity, thus he finds the intensity no matter what the opponent’s system defends against us, he finds intensive runs, he finds distances.”

“He loves to create overloads and half-spaces and this is what he gives. It’s just his style of play, his characteristics as a player. He’s in good shape, he’s confident.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
