Romelu Lukaku risks Thomas Tuchel fury again after what Chelsea star did vs Real Madrid

Romelu Lukaku had a fairly straightforward chance to score a second goal for Chelsea against Real Madrid. Still, the £97.5million striker was unable to find the target. It means that Los Blancos go into next week's second-leg with a 3-1 advantage.

Lukaku, who was signed by the Blues for a club-record fee last summer, was brought on around an hour into the tie at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel called upon the Belgian when Chelsea were in desperate need of a goal, and he had a golden chance to grant his manager's wish.
