"We are further away from our top form than we have maybe ever been this season." Thomas Tuchel has not criticised his team this clearly for a long time. You could read between the lines that he is really worried about how BVB will do in the Cup final.

Thomas Tuchel on the match against Köln:
„I am not satisfied. It doesn't feel good. We allowed Bayern to build up a gap of ten points on the last two match days of the season, I think that is a real pity. And I am not happy about this, because this was not our plan."

... the league table constellation: 

„The season was as well as decided last week, this week it was decided. But still: we freed ourselves from the constellation for 32 match days, be this in the Bundesliga, or the Europa League or the DFB Cup. We played to our limit on every match day, but we stopped doing that ten days ago. That is not good. That is not what we are about. That does not give us a good feeling. That is why I find it hard today to accept compliments about our season. We were lucky to get a point against Köln.“

... the loss of tension:
„We lost tension in this situation, and we also lost tension in our game and in the way we portrayed ourselves. The way that we played against Frankfurt and Köln was not good. You do not win any points in the Bundesliga like that. We allowed Bayern to increase their gap on us by five points. In just ten days. We only wanted to let them win the Championship with a five point gap. We wanted to face them in Berlin with a five point gap between us. Now it is all about finding back to our form and to show ourselves again as we really are."

... the difficult task:

„The task has become much more difficult now. It is our own fault. I think it is a real pity that we finished the season on match day 32. Because it is much more difficult to find your form again than to sustain it. That is why I am very worried."

... the chances in the Cup final:
„We can only win in Berlin if we are in top form. We are further away from our top form than we have maybe ever been this season. There is a lot to do. If we want to win in the end, then we have to grow beyond ourselves and make sure we get that little bit of luck in the match. It will be a long way until we are ready for that." Summarised by Matthias Dersch for ruhrnachrichten.de
