The European champions remain the only club from London to win the Champions League and now Chelsea made more history.
The Blues are in the driving seat of their last-16 tie with Lille having won the first leg 2-0 on Tuesday night courtesy of goals from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic.
And by keeping a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel's side became the first English team in either the Champions League or European Cup to win five home games in a row without conceding a goal.
Their run dates back to last season when they beat Real Madrid 2-0 in the semi-final second leg to advance 3-1 on aggregate.
Bringing it forward to this season, Chelsea began their home form in Europe with a 1-0 win over Zenit St Petersburg.
An easy 4-0 win over Malmo then followed before a jaw-dropping win against Juventus by the same margin.
The victory over Lille makes it a fantastic five for the Blues who will look to hold on to their two-goal cushion when they travel to France for the return leg on March 16.

We are a good defensive team and we wanna be this way cause this has always been our tradition. Klopp knows Liverpool’s tradition, they have always been a high pressing team who relies so much on long balls, Man city I don’t know but Pep somehow brought he’s magic, cause I only know Arsenal to be a possessive team who likes to keep the ball. Every team has their DNA. Pep knew this that’s the reason he didn’t choose Chelsea when he left Barcelona for Bayern. There’s a saying if it’s not spoilt why change it?

I am surprised even some of our own Chelsea fans blamed the so called TT's system just because lazy Lukaku wasn't getting any touches. Havertz played he got the touch and scored as well if it was Lukaku he would have not

As long as Tuchel maintains our last season squad and bench Lukaku, Chelsea can beat man city and retain the ucl .. Lukaku was the reason man city manage too beat Chelsea twice this season..
