After securing a 1-1 draw in Chelsea's Champions League semi-final first leg with Real Madrid, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel endeared himself to the club's fans shortly after the final whistle.
While the German tactician has completely turned the club's fortunes around since taking over from Frank Lampard and are now just 90 minutes away from securing a spot in the Istanbul final, the reason for why he earned brownie points with the club's fanbase had nothing to do with results on the pitch this time.
In fact, at the end of their game in Madrid, Tuchel inadvertently blanked the outstretched hand of loathed former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois as he went to congratulate his own players instead.
