Thomas Tuchel speaks to ITV. “It was complicated … a difficult match … they knew everything about us and we knew nothing about them … go through the list of players, they play in top clubs, top leagues … they came with new energy and made it a final for them … I liked the first half a lot … we deserved maybe a second goal with Harry’s header … the second half sometimes we did not get the pressing right … sometimes they escaped … fast attacks … the back four had to overcome some difficult moments … but I like it … not everything is easy … not every win is 2-0, 3-0, 5-0 … it is good … we kept a clean sheet and were decisive in the end … we had good impact from the bench … the game got a little bit too open … I need to check why … we brought on quality players and it showed … you could see straight away that Phil Foden was in a good mood and confident … a very good assist.”
