Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said he has had a meeting with his players "where everybody can take criticism" after two successive defeats.
The Blues were beaten 4-1 by Brentford in the league before a 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
"It was not a discussion type of meeting," said Tuchel.
"It was more that I gave my point of view and that's sometimes necessary."
Chelsea's defeats came after the international break during the process of the club being sold following Russian owner Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK government.
