Chelsea’s ruthless display provided the perfect riposte to Paris Saint Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino’s recent claim that the European champions are a “defensive” team.
Speaking after that resounding result, the German was unsurprisingly delighted with his side’s performance, despite admitting that they ‘could have created more chances’.
“We played a good away game, excellent result, a good mixture,” Tuchel told BT Sport.
”We created a lot of half chances, we were a bit unlucky with offsides but I am happy if we create. We need to be strong from first to last minute, it was a deserved win.
“Very good first half, we struggled with decisions and precision in the last third and could have created more chances. At two goals, anything can happen and the stadium can wake up but we did not allow them into the game and finished them off.”
