I agree. Chelsea was definitely stronger in the first half even though they needed like 15 minutes or so to find their rhythm but then they took control over the game and therefore their 1-0 lead shortly before the halftime break was well deserved and of course also at the perfect time. Even after the break Mancity did not manage to create enough big chances. I feel sad for kevin de bruyne though that was probably his biggest match in his career so far and then he had to be substituted early in the second half. I am pretty sure that Mancity would have managed to create more chances with de bruyne still on the pitch.
Overall a deserved win for chelsea...big contrats to tuchel and his team.
