Thomas Tuchel sure doesn't know much about "miracles". He thinks it's a miracle that Chelski leads Spurs by 3 points simply because Kante hasn't played more

Thomas Tuchel has hailed Chelsea's likely third-place Premier League finish as a 'miracle' given N'Golo Kante's injury struggles.
Marcos Alonso's sweetly-struck volley snatched Chelsea a 1-1 draw with Leicester at Stamford Bridge that sealed third place in everything but mathematics.
Chelsea boast a goal difference superiority of 18 on fourth-placed Tottenham, and manager Tuchel believes the job to seal third is effectively done and dusted.
Kante has missed more than half the campaign with a string of different injuries, leaving Tuchel to lament the France World Cup winner's absence across the campaign.
The 31-year-old has a year left to run on his Chelsea deal, with Tuchel insisting the Blues must find a way to have him playing more regularly to boost his chances of a longer stay in west London.
'I think he is our key, key, key player; but key, key, key players need to be on the pitch,' said Tuchel.
'He plays only 40 per cent of the games. So it's maybe a miracle that we arrived in third place.
'Because he is our Mo Salah, he is our (Virgil) Van Dijk, he is our (Kevin) De Bruyne, he is simply that player.
'He is our Neymar, he is our Kylian Mbappe; he is the guy who makes the difference. And if you only have him 40 per cent it's a huge problem.
'Given that percentage it's maybe a miracle of how consistent we produce results and puts everything into perspective.
'Because I saw Liverpool without Van Dijk last season and they struggled, heavily. And you see the difference.
'So N'Golo is our key player, and he needs to be on the pitch.'
Asked if Chelsea can solve Kante's physical issues, Tuchel continued: 'I hope so. It's hard to live with, because it's important for him to be there and have the rhythm.
'I think he played OK, but he can play so much better.
'He can play so much better, but when was his last game that he started, it was weeks ago.
'So he constantly starts getting rhythm, then once he gets rhythm comes a little injury and he's out again.
'Imagine last year, he was in the last five matches of Champions League man of the match.
'I mean they handed him the trophy before the match, because it was clear when he played he would be man of the match. It was like this.
'And this guy who gets man of the match in every Champions League game, he's only here for 40-something per cent of the match.'
The German continued: 'This is huge for us. We do everything to solve it, and of course him as well.
'I don't blame him, it's a concern and it's a fact that we miss him a lot. Because he brings something unique in world football.
'He has that ability to lift everybody up and make the difference. And this is the challenge for him, and for us.'
James Maddison lashed Leicester into an early lead at Chelsea, before Alonso volleyed home from Reece James' fine angled cross.
'We were the better team and we deserved to win, but we did what was needed,' said Tuchel.
'We needed a point, we got a point, and didn't allow any chances.
'But today is still the day where we secured third place.'
Sorry, so in the 11 years not 8 years before RA they won the Fa cup twice, League cup and cup winners cup. We've had 1 League cup in 21 years under ENIC ownership.
Alonso apparantely called him a mutherfucker before he got taken off
Nah, the billionaire privilage is to stink like rotten fish and have everyone say you smell of daisies.
