The Blues picked up an away goal but could ultimately regret not being better in front of the net during a dominant opening 20 minutes.
Thomas Tuchel was left disappointed by Chelsea’s 1-1 result in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Despite praising his men’s “courage” to begin brightly at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, the German manager insisted the Blues could have scored far more than Christian Pulisic’s opener given the pressure they applied in the early going.
Timo Werner was responsible for the most frustrating missed chance when he shot right at goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois from close range in the first 10 minutes. Tuchel said Chelsea could have wrapped up the match and perhaps even the entire semi-final tie during the first half hour.
