Thomas Tuchel hailed his Chelsea legends the previous evening after their rule as European heroes were finished here by Real Madrid.
An extraordinary 3-2 success for the hosts after additional time at the Bernabeu saw the Blues lose 5-4 in total - however Tuchel demands he regrets nothing.
Objectives from Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger, and Timo Werner put Chelsea on the cusp of a noteworthy Champions League rebound - yet Rodrygo's strike constrained the tie into additional time, and afterward Karim Benzema - who else? - scored the objective that booked Real's position in the semi-finals.
The commended the fortitude of his players. "I think we had the right to go through," he said. "We were unfortunate, yet there are no second thoughts. These are the sort of losses you can take with satisfaction and you can acknowledge as an athlete.
"We showed a ton of fortitude, we showed a great deal of value - and this was the correct method for making it happen. I'm exceptionally cheerful. It's the best approach forward. We request a ton from the players and assuming we have this sort of exertion, we are a unique group."
Tuchel conceded Chelsea eventually took care of mix-ups made in the primary leg, which gave Real a 3-1 lead going into the previous evening's tie.
"[Madrid] didn't make a great deal at Stamford Bridge, yet they took each half-risk and changed over it," he said. "This was sufficient. You need to decrease your measure of slip-ups - and we were unable to lessen it to a flat-out least over the two legs. For that reason, the shortage was so high.
"Then, at that point, you come here and play a match like this and we have two essential ball misfortunes that just against not many groups end in an objective. Against Real Madrid, it is conceivable."
Tuchel additionally hit out at Polish official Szymon Marciniak. Chelsea's German administrator was irritated by the choice to permit VAR to preclude a Marcos Alonso objective for handball without the authority surveying the episode on the pitchside screen.
What's more, he additionally condemned Marciniak for "chuckling" with Real chief Carlo Ancelotti after the last whistle. "I was frustrated that the official lived it up with my associate Carlo Ancelotti," he said. "I realize Carlo is a great person, however when I needed to proceed to say thank you for the match, I saw him [Marciniak] grinning and giggling uproariously with the rivals' mentor.
"I think this is some unacceptable opportunity to do this after the last whistle from 120 minutes, where one group gave their entire existence and battled until the last drop. You take a brief trip and see the arbitrator grinning and giggling with the other mentor. I think it is incredible, awful timing. I let him know this."
Alonso thought he had put Chelsea 3-0 up soon after the hour mark, yet his festivals were stopped after VAR recognized the merest of handballs in the development of his work.
Tuchel added: "Assuming you play against Madrid, some of the time you can perhaps not expect that everybody has the boldness. I felt the little choices [went against us] in the principal leg and the second leg today also.
"I didn't see the objective, however, I let him know that I was frustrated that he doesn't come out and check it all alone. In a match like this, where you have a specific line to whistle, you ought to remain the chief and not give choices like this to someone in a secluded seat from the air.
"He has a specific style - certain things that he permits and doesn't permit - and he follows a specific line, so I figure he ought to remain in control and check it all alone, then, at that point, he could likewise make sense of it better."
Tuchel additionally grumbled about how much stoppage time was, saying: "I thought we merited more minutes in the end since it seemed like we had no minutes to play in the last part of additional time.
"Perhaps it is an excessive amount to request in matches this way, against this rival. We had it in our grasp and we were not adequately fortunate."
