Chelsea have made a tough return from the international break this week, losing back-to-back matches against Brentford and Real Madrid. The Blues conceded seven goals across the two games, looking uncharacteristically poor at the back as a Karim Benzema hat-trick sunk the team on Wednesday night.

Thomas Tuchel gave his verdict shortly after the match, telling BT Sport: “It’s a heavy loss. It’s one of the worst first-halves I’ve seen from us here at Stamford Bridge. First-half was so far from any standards we set ourselves, so we cannot complain when we lose.”

The German coach will now be looking for his side to respond when they face Southampton on Saturday, needing three points to get back to winning ways. Luckily for him, his Chelsea squad came out unscathed and without injuries from the match with Los Blancos.
