Midseason hire Thomas Tuchel is on the verge of earning some long-term security at Chelsea.

Apart from steering the once-lost Blues back to the upper echelon of the Premier League, he also has his men primed to appear in a UEFA Champions League final.

On Wednesday, Chelsea hosts Real Madrid in the second leg of their semifinal matchup which is knotted up at 1-1, with the Blues having the away goal advantage. Certainly, they cannot plan to rest on that with a squad as dangerous and experienced as Madrid’s, though.

On the other side of the bracket, Paris Saint-Germain has its work cut out for it against Manchester City.

After taking a lead in the 15th minute of the first leg, PSG blew the lead and midfielder Idrissa Gueye didn’t help the case by earning a straight red, to factor himself out of Tuesday’s match.

The French giants will need to dig deep, but the fact that they took an early lead last week shows that they should be up for the task.

Here is a look at This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch, along with a full rundown of the soccer viewing options available this week:

THIS WEEK’S TOP 5 MATCHES TO WATCH

1. Chelsea vs Real Madrid – A nervy 1-1 contest should be very entertaining. Madrid has to go for it. Chelsea cannot afford to be venerable. We will learn a lot about the winner.
2. Manchester City vs PSG – Tired legs let Manchester City down recently in the EFL Cup, does the team have enough in the tank to fend off a PSG side that will come out swinging?
3. Arsenal vs Villarreal – The first leg ended with each side taking a red card. The passion should be there for Arsenal, but Villarreal now just needs to see out its 2-1 lead to earn a date with Manchester United in the final.
4. Monterrey vs Columbus Crew – Columbus needs to earn at least two away goals to advance in the CONCACAF Champions League, and proved it can go toe to toe with Monterrey last week. Can the Crew muster up a thriller?
5. América vs Portland Timbers – Wednesday’s CCL night cap is also a nervy one. Club América took an away goal from the first leg, but collapsed at the end to allow Portland to even the score.
