It was not an easy evening for Chelsea fans and supporters, but we can only imagine what coach Thomas Tuchel was going through after being defeated at home in such disappointing fashion.
The German boss lost his first game against Real Madrid after six attempts, but his main cause for concern had to be the team's poor display on the pitch, as he was telling BT Sport reporter Des Kelly.
"Well, it was a heavy loss, it was one of the worst first halves that I saw from us here at Stamford Bridge, and at this level you can't play like this individually or as a team," Tuchel stated.
Then, the interview turned a bit tense when the journalist asked Tuchel if the tie was still open for Chelsea to bounce back. Added to that, the reporter judged Tuchel's allegedly "bored" face after such a heavy loss, prompting a harsh response from the former PSG tactician, which we invite you to see in the footage below (Image might be geo-restricted).
"If we keep on playing like this we will lose in Southampton and then we don't need to think about the Bernabéu - we will get hammered in Bernabéu."

Thomas Tuchel isn't mincing his words this evening

The Blues have conceded seven goals in two games, and if they want to make something happen at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, they should pay attention to their coach's words regarding their recent form to try and turn things around at the Spanish capital. Otherwise, Tuchel's prediction that the tie is not alive may come true in less than a week.
