'Surely': Cesc Fabregas figures out Thomas Tuchel big errors during Chelsea vs Real Madrid
Cesc Fabregas pointed out a major tactical error made by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel during tonight's loss to Real Madrid.
The Blues were defeated 3-1 at home by Real Madrid in a Champions League quarter-final tie.
The visitors took the lead at Stamford Bridge after Karim Benzema scored two first-half headers. Kai Havertz, on the other hand, pulled a goal back before halftime with his own header.
Unfortunately, Benzema was able to complete his hat-trick almost immediately after halftime thanks to a mistake by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
Tuchel's team trailed 3-1 on aggregate after the first leg, leaving them with a mountain to climb in next week's second leg in Spain.
Tuchel chose a midfield pairing of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho against Real Madrid, both of whom did not finish the game.
Kovacic, 27, came on as a half-time substitute.
The central midfielder definitely added some guile to the XI as the Blues pushed to cut the deficit.
He's been a go-to player so often this season that the decision not to start him against his former club appears to have backfired spectacularly.
With him on the field, it felt like the hosts had a better grip in the middle, Despite this, Madrid took a step back to defend their lead.
Of course, Tuchel hasn't done much wrong during his time at Stamford Bridge. However, the Kovacic selection is likely to draw a lot of criticism, and he should own up to it.
Hopefully, the Croatian midfielder will be given the nod to start next week as the Blues attempt to complete an unlikely comeback.
