Few weeks to the UCL finals, I believed and predicted that Mancity will win. But few minutes to the final when I saw the line up, it became obvious to me that Chelsea will take the day.
Tuchel came up with a strong midfield and a natural striker.
Mancity in the other hand came up with strong midfield without a natural striker. I was shocked Guardiola came up with his well mastered tactics by all.
It is therefore very important that when gambling, we should wait till the eleventh hour to know the formation of the club, form of the players, weather, mentality of the team for that day's match. I lost my money but I have learnt my lessons.

I agree with you on Lampard. Because I think they wouldn't have achieved the same thing with him. Because the team were not playing this much good then. After Tuchel has come, everything has changed about the team. The players started playing much more dedicatedly. I think that Tuchel is one of the really good managers.
I think Lampard had a happy night and he also feel happy with his sack because it brings the second Champions League cup to Chelsea. It is a club Mr Frankie loves deeply so he will wish the best for this club.He or Tuchel bright the Champions League to the club, it is not a really big matter. The matter is Chelsea has an amazing night and join the big clubs. The second cup will be a beginning to join Legendary clubs in Champions League. If they win three cups, they deserve to have a spot in list of legendary clubs.
There is an interesting fact that Chelsea have won the Champions League second time in a row after changing their manager. The first championship was in the 11/12 season. Di Matteo was brought to the manager position. And many people were thinking like "Ok, that's it.". But they became the champions.
Now we've seen another manager change and here we are. Chelsea managed to become champions with Tuchel.
At first, congratulation to Chelsea, you deserve the champion. By the way, i think Chelsea should thanks to Pep Guardiola change lineups, Guardiola always Guardiola, changing lineups for key games all the time. It cannot be denied that he is a master tactician, but he screwed up every time. Haha, giving up double defending midfielders and without striker...
I think a lot of gamblers lost their bet in the match between Manchester City and Chelsea. To be honest, I did not expect Chelsea to be able to beat Manchester City, I was thinking the best Chelsea could do was to force a draw upon Manchester City and get the game into extra time or penalty shootout to decide the winner for the trophy. But Chelsea did played well against Manchester City to win the match and I believe the next English Premier League season will be much more intense as Chelsea are improving a lot with Thomas Tuchel in charge.
I believe Pep messed up here by underrating Chelsea a team that had defeated Man City convincingly twice this season, he started the match without a defensive midfielder and a natural Striker thinking the tactics will work having adopted the tactic to win many matches in EPL, with the introduction of Fernadinho and Gabriel Jesus in the second half City began to press Chelsea hard unfortunately Chelsea were resolute and defended I congratulate Tuchel for a job well done and cheering his players during the match and all the Chelsea players and fans.
Pep messed up his team in important matches in Champions League.Cogratulations for the second Champions League for Chelsea. Kai Harvertz is a little bit lucky in that goal. If the goal had bounced strongly in opposite direction of Kai's movement, he would have not scored that goal. But that counter attack is great and Chelsea deserve that goal and the cup.
I see one more thing from the final, Timo Werner is still very lack of confidence and can not play as a striker. It is a big surprise that how Werner lost all of his finishing skills and confidence in one season.
I disagree with the claim that Pep underestimated Chelsea.
On the contrary, after two consecutive defeats by Chelsea, Pep decided to experiment and completely changed the strategy and concept of the game from Manchester in the final.
Obviously the Manchester City players didn't do well in that experiment and Chelsea, especially in the first half, were much better and deservedly won.
Pep does this every time a crucial game is played for Manchester City, gives up on his original plan and strategy and changes everything, and every time Manchester City loses such important games.
He simply complicates and thinks too much and it turns out that it is not the same to play with Messi and win trophies with Barcelona or play without Messi.
Manchester City played very defensively. A team like Chelsea, who are very good at counterattack, can't win by applying defensive tactics against them. Despite having such an experienced squad, Manchester City has lost only because of poor tactics. Congratulation to Chelsea and Tuchel. The done this great job.
Poor tactics from Pep but not only this. Kante is the best player of the match and he broke the tactics of Manchester City.He became a second Makelele for Chelsea and he has some better skills than Claude Makelele. Joe Cole admitted that fact after the final.
Pep again was beaten by a moment as same as Torres in the semi final between Chelsea and Barcelona. This time, it was made and finished by Kai Harvertz.

I enjoyed watching Chelsea play. I think they're well deserved the title and they've been an entertaining side to watch in this competition.
I think they made the right choice to get rid of Lampard. Tuchel was the best signing that Chelsea made.

My bet was, again, not correct (2-1 for ManCity).
At least I had fun with my friends watching the final. Two exceptional teams, really, but I must finally admit that Tuchel's a magician. The way he even conceived this game was great and never forget he took a team that was almost done and brought it to the top of Europe.

Congratulations Chelsea!
Both teams had a great game. Manchester City conceded a goal when caught off guard. Although they tried very hard to make up for this goal, they were not enough. N'golo Kante and Mount played great in the Chelsea team. Manchester City lost in their first final match. Paris SG and Tottenham have experienced this before.

That was bound to happen when you don't have holding midfielder. I also thought it was a smart lineup but defense was so sloppy in the first half. They were surprised by the Werner's pace and focused on him and forgot to check Havertz properly. Still it was wierd to have no striker otherwise they would have answered properly. Chelsea undoubtedly deserved it. Guardiola pays it off for overthinking like he usually does.
I did not expect this but fair play to Chelsea. They were better yesterday and are worthy winners.
They lost only one game in the whole Champions League, to Porto at home, conceding in the 94th minute when they have already secured further progress.
They conceded only 4 goals in 13 games, huge respect to both Lampard and of course, even more Tuchel.
Guardiola will be left with criticism again, his team selection was again quite unorthodox and way too offensive for a game like this.

Before the match I had no doubt that Man City would win, but when I saw the huge difference in odds, I bet on a Chelsea win! It seemed strange to me that the bookmakers made Man City the favorite... And I wasn't wrong!
I also bet on Chelsea... but I didn't think they would win. I just found a site where the odds of a Chelsea victory were quite extreme.
Man City were deservedly the favourites going into the match, as they are the better team... but of course they had lost twice already to Tuchel's Chelsea within the last six weeks, so it wasn't like Chelsea didn't have a chance.
Some sites definitely overcompensate for the favourites, which means they undercompensate for the outsiders, which means you can get very good odds on an "unlikely" outcome.
Congratulations to Chelsea!
He played a well-structured game and tactically canceled out the best players in Man City. He was happy with the goal, with an excellent counter attack, and still had a few more opportunities. In addition, he also had the luck of the game on his side, since in the last 15 minutes of the match, Man City was unable to finish in the incredible opportunities he had. Man City was also unable to tactically manage to effectively overcome Chelsea's defensive line, and create more and better goal opportunities.
Noteworthy was the true Fair-Play that existed, with Pep congratulating Tuchel without raising questions and showing that he recognized the opponent's merit.

I believe Pep messed up here by underrating Chelsea a team that had defeated Man City convincingly twice this season, he started the match without a defensive midfielder and a natural Striker thinking the tactics will work having adopted the tactic to win many matches in EPL, with the introduction of Fernadinho and Gabriel Jesus in the second half City began to press Chelsea hard unfortunately Chelsea were resolute and defended I congratulate Tuchel for a job well done and cheering his players during the match and all the Chelsea players and fans.

so now it's up to them to pick themselves up, and look to next season, they could prolly win it then.
they won the premier league and got lazy, i already predicted that they would easily lose this game, because as they won the premier league in a very comfortable way they allowed them to relax and to make their opponent worse it was just a premier league team that was in difficulty, this whole scenario made the city enter the field underestimating chelsea. on the other side the chelesa comes from games of all or nothing, they were more than prepared psychologically and with a greater desire to win to save this season.
chelsea did it !!
still in shocked that chelsea rates in stake is 4.0 .

congrats to Chelsea, I bet you!. I appreciate Mendy with great effort, he also creates that clean sheet with 12 games without any goals. same as 9 years ago when Chelsea change his coach, Tuchel make did happens again. About Kante, I think he will get ballon this year, are you agree with me?. In this game, I will give 10 points to Kante.
