LONDON (Reuters) - Mateo Kovacic has three Champions League winners' medals tucked away but the Croatian has never played a minute of a final. Obviously, I was three years at Madrid and unfortunately I didn't play in a final," he said. "Chelsea is a bit different, obviously it will be huge for me to play in a final." Kovacic was initially a key player for Tuchel when the German coach arrived in January to replace Frank Lampard. The team changed the way we approached the games, more confident and solid at the back.
