Tuchel: We just weren't lucky!

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, after his team was defeated by Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, said that he had nothing to regret.

“These are defeats that we can digest because we have nothing to regret. It was not tried. We simply were unlucky, “Tuchel said.

Chelsea took the lead with 3: 1 in the regular part of the game, so extra time was played in which Karim Benzema scored the goal to reach the semifinals, in the 96th minute.

“We showed quality and character and deserved to go further. We have nothing to regret, “Tuchel added.

In the 62nd minute, Marcos Alonso scored a goal, and then referee Shimon Marcinjak annulled his goal for playing with his hand, and Tuchel said that the referees do not have the courage to make decisions against Real Madrid.

“I was disappointed that the judge had a good time with Karl. When I wanted to thank him, he laughed with the opposing coach. I think that is the wrong time, after the last whistle and 126 minutes in which the team left its heart on the field. “When you see a referee laughing with another coach, it’s not good timing and that’s what I told him,” Tuchel said.

“It’s not just now. When you play against Real Madrid, you may not expect everyone to have the courage. I mean that with small decisions in the first game, but also in the second. I didn’t see the goal, but I’m extremely disappointed that he didn’t come to check in person. He should have remained the boss and not let someone who is sitting isolated (VAR room) decide on that “, added Tuchel, the Chelsea coach.
