Well deserved Chelsea win. Maybe it wasn't most exciting Champions league final we ever saw, but it wouldn't be possible for Chelsea to win in different style.

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.

Great appreciation for Tuchel has managed to quickly bring Chelsea back and it is not an easy job, being sacked by PSG, losing the FA Cup and losing his last EPL match, but Tuchel managed to make a big surprise by becoming the UCL champion. Indeed, there were those who predicted this result (Chelsea won) but I'm sure it wasn't much and big congratulations to them and whoever won today, you are extraordinary people and full of surprises.
Thomas Tuchel, right now it deserves to be called the special one! Cool

Congratulation to Chelsea, you guys deserve to celebrate this win. Manchester City were not lucky enough to score at least 1 goal, but I think they did their best. Manchester City's failure was seen after De Bruyne left after a clash with Rudiger as De Bruyne is a very important player for Manchester City.

Without regret, I appreciate the defense and strategy used by Tuchel. Defending and counter-attacking was Chelsea's advantage today. Congratulation Tuchel and fans, a coach who managed to turn Chelsea into Champions League glory.

about the match, i feel like whoever scores the 1st goal will lift the trophy.
heh! and as soon as i saw the lineup, i knew i had to place this bet



my take: Guardiola bottled it. Made unnecesary changes to an absolute perfect machine in the most important game of the season

City players were abysmal from the get go, worst performance of the season. Both Man City players and manager were outclassed. Kante MVP. Congrats Chelsea fans, you deserve it! City fans, you'll never win a CL Smiley

Well deserved Chelsea win. Maybe it wasn't most exciting Champions league final we ever saw, but it wouldn't be possible for Chelsea to win in different style. How many dangerous City moments you can remember? It's sad that De Bruyne had to left pitch, but I don't think it was main factor today.
It's amazing what Tuchel did with Chelsea. Before season nobody had saw them as team that can win Champions league. Even Chelsea fans, I doubt that many of them expected for such success. Chelsea relly got luck that PSG sacked Tuchel.

I don't see Man City as usual too many opportunities are lost  Undecided I don't know if it was due to bad luck or the Chelsea defender who was too strong
Now Man City only has 15 minutes to equalize the score if nothing changes maybe Chelsea takes the trophy.

Chelsea is inspired like I've never seen them before.  I'm surprised, but what's more surprising is that City looks surprised, lol.  Now with De Bruyne out, it's not likely to get any better for City. 

Yes you are right, Chelsea is like putting out all the stored energy which I haven't seen in some of their previous matches as usual the counterattack became a mainstay
Even though I chose Man City to win but after seeing this match I think Chelsea deserves to win, Congratulations to Chelsea.
Actually City are not bad in their game and he dominates in the game, and I admit Chelsea's defense is very neat and disciplined which makes it difficult for City to break through the net.
But whatever the reason Chelsea is indeed dangerous with a very fast counter-attack, congratulations to Chelsea and Tuchel being the right choice for Chelsea after Lampard.

City had only 1 shot towards the goalie and you can't score if you play like this into a final so in my opinion City did not deserve to win it.

Massive congrats to Chelsea and they should've scored at least 2 more goals. Imagine the PSG team and owners when they saw Tuchel win UCL after they saw Emery win Europa League with Villareal... ( both coaches were on PSG one after the other ).

We all knew it was always going to be Kante vs KdB in the end, and Kante made his mark on this match I feel, and as soon as de Bruyne went off injured, all the wind went out of City's sail. A bit of a shame for me that, the match would have been more fun had he stayed on.

Still, joy for Tuchel, and more misery for Pep. Didn't like either to win but can't say either didn't deserve it.

Enjoy the night, Chelski bois.

Congratulations Chelsea and Tuchel.
City lost many opportunities, Mehrez last shot was very close, I lost my bets without regret.
Man of the match and CL this season = Tuchel, congrats!

There is hope, 10 minutes left...
The match is almost over, it's less than 10 minutes. I think Chelsea already won the game and be the winner of UCL title this season. We must appreciate what Tuchel can do for Chelsea, he really changes Chelsea to be stronger be more confident. What a great job done Tuchel and all Chelsea players in this season!! Congratulation..  Smiley

I still think that City will win, go Guardiola, Mehrez, De Bruyne et al. and do something!

Nothing speaks for a win for ManCity at the moment. Chelsea is clearly playing better and Tuchel's tactics are visibly working. ManCity can hardly get anything together in attack. ManCity still has 25 minutes to come up with something. But once again it shows that Guardiola has only worked in Barca so far when it comes to international cups.
Few missed opportunities for City, VAR/penalty?, De Bruyne out, Havertz lost the best opportunity to kill the game, Chelsea dropping in performance a little. There is hope, 10 minutes left...

My word,  did Pulisic just fail to put that behind the goal 😳 to secure their UEFA title....

With the way these guys are playing For me its a wrap, Chelsea have been the better team here and I my judgment was all in favor of Manchester city who were the favorites.

I feel played by these guys..Will see if anything can change in the dying minutes.

I like how both team played in the first half. Even though Chelsea took the lead by 1 goal in the 43rd minute it didn't seem to suggest that Manchester City were bad enough throughout the first half. So far their game has been quite even with a few missed chance. A bit of Manchester City's mistake has allowed them to concede a goal on the counter-attack.

I hope Manchester City can improve their game in the second half. My hope is that Sterling put more pressure on the Chelsea defender if he is given more minute by Pep before being substituted.

Against all odds  Chelsea leads Manchester  city  by one goal with a few minutes to  go before half time and with this result it puts city  In a position they didn't want to be.
Well against all odds, I placed right now two bets:
- BTTS @1.5
- City or draw @2
and damn it if City fate will be like ManU. Today (until now) is a sad day in Manchester, seeing both teams eliminated in final games.

Kai Havertz has just scored for Chelsea in the 43rd minute, I have also said today that this is just the first time Man City are playing Champions League final, it will be more tough for them to win if compared to Chelsea that has been there before.

It has nothing to do with that weird superstitious. Chelsea was better in the counterattack hence they scored but there is another 45 minutes so things could have changed in the 2nd half. Dang it was only few minutes before I win my bets and Chelsea had to ruin it

Anyway the highlight was the assist though, it was an insane assist

Edit : I dont want to jinx this but most of the time in EPL, Chelsea win the game after they scored 1 goal and defend all the way through the entire game relying mostly on counterattack.

Edit 2: It looks like De Bruyne was injured and got taken out.

That's what you get for running too much brain. No holding midfielder nor a proper striker and there you have it.. 1-0 at half  time. Guardiola would be criticised so much if they lose today for how he chose the lineup. Still we have another half to see and hopefully he will change some things, it is really not working as we can see.
