Video: The disallowed goal cost Chelsea the promotion. Not everyone has the courage to make the right decisions against Real Madrid, says Tuchel

The dramatic battle between Real Madrid and Chelsea to reach the Champions League semi-finals offered some interesting twists and turns. Although the Blues lost the first leg, they put in a great performance at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, it was not enough to advance due to a disallowed goal.

Chelsea lost their home game to Real Madrid 1:3. Although nobody wrote off the London team, it was not expected that the Blues could turn the result around in the return match.

However, they came close to doing so. Thomas Tuchel’s team played great, outplayed their opponent and even took the lead 3:0. However, they could have led 4:0, which would have been the decisive factor.

However, the referees disallowed Marcos Alonso’s goal due to a handball. However, there are still arguments on social media and in the media about how much it was the right decision.

Real Madrid could only manage a single goal in the regular season, so the match ended 3-1, forcing it to go into extra time. Karim Benzema was again the difference maker, scoring the opening goal.

Chelsea’s coach was somewhat chagrined after the game. However, he takes the situation as it is. “You play against Real Madrid, you just can’t expect everyone to have the courage to make the right decisions,” Tuchel let himself be heard at the press conference.

The German strategist admitted that he perceived minor bad decisions in both matches against the Spanish giant. He had not seen the footage of Alonso’s goal himself at the time he went to the press conference, but was nevertheless disappointed that the referee had not gone to video-check it himself.

“In a match like this, where you have to whistle a certain plane, you should remain the boss and not let someone in the chair who is isolated from the atmosphere and the way the referee officiates in a given match make the decision,” Tuchel added
