Oscar hopes Werner is Chelsea's Champions League final hero

The former Brazil star has been impressed by the German striker despite his struggles in front of goal this season

Former Chelsea star Oscar hopes Timo Werner can answer his critics by making the difference in the Champions League final.

The Germany international has faced criticism for much of his first season with the Blues, with the 25-year-old struggling to hit the same heights he managed during his time at RB Leipzig.

Werner has netted 12 times in all competitions since joining Chelsea, including four in 11 Champions League appearances, and Oscar is hoping he can be the main man against Manchester City on Saturday night.
