Now through to the final against Liverpool, Tuchel revealed that he was a little unhappy at Jorginho wasting possession during the contest.

He told reporters, via Goal.com: "He played injured, sacrificed for the team. I think you see it now. You can never underestimate how much pressure is on playing for the national team, the country, for Italy.

"The demands are high after big success like winning the Euros. I think he really felt the pressure there, everybody for Italy felt it. This is normal. Sometimes after big successes, it's very difficult to keep on going.

"He put a lot of responsibility naturally on his shoulders because he is never shy to do so. He is never shy to do it here, this is why I love him.

"It's true, I was very hard on him during the match. He had some situations he could do better and normally does. It is never personal. I love Jorgi. I know that he knows it.

"We see now we overused him, I have the feeling we see the consequences of these huge number of matches.

"If he plays he is always fully involved, gives everything and plays with a lot of effort. He has to be absolutely fresh to have the influence he normally has.

"He is not mentally, physically in the freshest moment at the minute. He is not to blame. It affects how I analyse it, he had two or three situations where he could do better [vs Palace].

"Nothing personal. Nothing that stands between us."
