Yesterday, Chelsea defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The blues had a 3-0 lead at one point but couldn't hold it for the entire game. Thomas Tuchel, on the other hand, appeared to be blinded by Carlo Ancelotti's sudden change of tactics, which contributed to Chelsea's loss yesterday.Tuchel should have substituted Mateo Kovacic or N'golo Kante at the same time because he knew his players had expended a lot of energy.When his team was trailing 3-0, Ancelotti brought in Camavinga and Rodrygo as substitutes. As a result, the Spanish giants gained more energy in both midfield and attack, as opposed to when Toni Kroos was in the game.Chelsea's game was later balanced when he introduced Saul Niguez and Jorginho.Real Madrid began to dominate when Valverde and Camavinga took over the defensive midfield positions, allowing Modric to play freely. That early substitution could have prevented Kante's late gaffe.
