Thomas Tuchel's Full Post-Real Madrid Press Conference: Thom | Chelsea FC

Thomas Tuchel's Full Post-Real Madrid Press Conference:

Thomas Tuchel: "We were unlucky. That is why we are disappointed. We got beaten by individual quality and conversion. We made two mistakes, two ball losses. We deserved to go through after this match today. It was not meant to be."

Thomas Tuchel on individual quality hurting Chelsea: "We have to reduce our amount of mistakes and we could not reduce them to a minimum over the two legs. We had two crucial ball losses. There are no regrets. These are the kind of defeat you can take with pride as a sportsman."

Thomas Tuchel on Chelsea game plan: "The players lived up to the plan in a very different way that we did against Brentford and in the first leg. This is the huge difference. We were never shy of making the point that this is the most important: how we live up to a tactic and perform in the structure. This was at the full limit today. We were very disciplined on the ball, very active & invested off the ball. We showed courage and from there we showed out quality. This is the right way to do it. If we have this kind of effort, we are a special team."

Thomas Tuchel on referee vs Real Madrid: "I was disappointed that the referee had a good time with Carlo. When I wanted to go and say thank you, he was smiling and laughing with the opponent's coach. I think this is the very wrong time to do this after the final whistle, 126 minutes of a team giving their heart. When you go and see a referee smiling and laughing with the other coach, it's bad timing. I told him this."

Thomas Tuchel on decisions going against Chelsea: "Not only today. When you play against Real Madrid, maybe you don't expect everyone has the courage. I felt the little decisions in the first leg and today as well."

Thomas Tuchel on Marcos Alonso's disallowed goal: "I didn't see the goal but I am super disappointed he [referee] didn't come out and check it on it's own. You should stay the boss and not give the decisions to someone in a chair and who is isolated."
