Thomas Tuchel reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea after his sides victory over Newcastle and even said if worse gets to worst, he will offer his team a ride to Lille for their last 16 Champions League tie in his 7 seater. After a week of turmoil which saw former club owner Roman Abramovich sanctioned and even further stripped off directorship of the club by the Premier League, Chelsea still managed to get passed Newcastle courtesy of a late goal from Kai Havertz in the 89th minute. Chelsea have now strengthened their hold on the third position on the table with five EPL wins in a row.

When asked about his future at the club, Tuchel reaffirmed his commitment to stay at the club until the end of the season. The manager hopes that the sale of the club will go through smoothly in order to give them some perspective. He further added that the club staff was taking one day at a time and the travel planning department was now working under strict budgets for away trips, set by the government as part of the club's restrictions. He however, exuded confidence that no matter how tough the situation might get, his team will be in Lille on Wednesday for the UCL even if it means he will have to drive them there in a seven-seater bus.
