That’s the only thing we can do – Tuchel reveals the one thing Chelsea must do to beat Real Madrid 2-0 at Bernabeu
Chelsea must turn things around at Bernabeu with a massive 2-0 win to get back into the game.
However, Speaking after the defeat on Wednesday, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel declared the context over.
Tuchel admitted that he can’t understand his side anymore, as his real team didn’t return from the international break.
Meanwhile, According to Tuchel, Chelsea must get back their competitive spirit if they are to win the tie at the Bernabeu next week.
When asked after his side’s defeat if Chelsea’s tie with Madrid is still alive, Tuchel replied: “No. Not at the moment, no.
“Why is it not alive? Because we have to find our level and I don’t know where it is.
“Since the international break the first half is a repetition of the second half against Brentford, in a quarter-final against Real Madrid.
“So far off our level in absolutely everything what the game demands. You cannot expect a result from this kind of performance.”
He added: “If things change, maybe, but how many clubs in worldwide football won [by] what we need – three goals difference? How often did this happen?
“Maybe it’s only realistic to answer like this and should not get fatalistic and think that I give the wrong message. Let’s be honest, we sit here after 15 minutes, we are competitive, we need to find our competitive spirit, our quality and then we can talk.”
Since the international break, Chelsea have conceded 7 goals in two matches, scoring just twice.
