Tuchel talked about his disappointment with the result but also felt unlucky. Tuchel said, "I don’t think today’s defeat was fair; I think a lot went against us today. I think we had an xG value of 3.4 and we had four, five, six top-class chances. We completely dominated the game and actually went behind out of nowhere. We never stopped putting in the effort until the end and then played with a man down for a long time. A lot went against us today. I feel today's defeat is different to the last two."
