Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits mixed emotions ahead of their FA Cup semifinal against Crystal Palace.
Chelsea go into the clash on the back of Champions League elimination at Real Madrid.
Tuchel said, "We are all a bit inbetween. Confidence wise, I think it's a huge boost but it's a disappointment to go out of the Champions League at the quarter-final. Not in a big drama, but it's still a disappointment because we feel we could've been one of the four teams in the semi-final.
"It was a fantastic performance at the Bernabeu and it stays like this. But it feels a bit bitter. Too many mistakes got punished by individual quality.
"We've got some training time now before our Sunday match and we will use it to sweat it out and be ready for Sunday."
Tuchel added: "Ben Chilwell is out. Callum [Hudson-Odoi] is out. Romelu [Lukaku] was back in training yesterday and should be ok."
