Chelsea have now conceded seven goals in their last two games, and Tuchel says the current European champions cannot continue in their poor state.
"If we continue to play like this, we will lose at Southampton [Premier League on Saturday] and then we will lose at the Bernabeu," he told BT Sporti after the match.
Tukheli was then asked if the game was going on, he replied. “Today [this tie] is alive with this match. Not right now.
We need to get back together, I don't know where we are after the international break. The replay of the second half was tonight against "Brentford" in the quarter-finals against "Real" Madrid. Five games, seven goals conceded. He thinks there is a deeper reason or something. That is worrying.
"Despite all the demands of the game, you can't expect results from such a performance. We are far from our level, tactically, individually, in terms of challenges. We tried to play with a new team, we ended the game. A big mistake.
"It never affects everyone, including me, with one or more players. We lost the individual, the snow and the sharpness. We certainly didn't look the same after the international break, I have no explanation for that." We had a long ball, we were very competitive, but the first half has not been good enough so far.
Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen added that it was "abnormal" to score 7 goals in both games.
“It’s not just about this game, we did it over the weekend,” he said. "We have to fix it, we have to do it fast."
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Benzema for his excellent season, saying that the French footballer "improves every day, like wine".
The first leg will take place next Tuesday as both sides try to secure a place in the Champions League semi-finals.
