“We have to accept the quality of the opponent, and this is maybe the most dangerous attacking side at the moment in Europe, and full of individual quality and playing such a high rhythm,” Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said. “So defending like this and playing like this on this level made me very proud today. I saw a brilliant match of football over 120 minutes, we played a huge part in it. I have a feeling that we created a bit more but maybe that’s also subjective. This game could easily have gone either way. You need a bit of luck, you need a bit of momentum to win it.”
