Chelsea's goalkeeper Mendy was really awesome in the first half. He had 2 critical saves and didn't let Benzema score a goal. As long as he keeps up the good work, it seems like Real Madrid's job will be very hard. Especially if Chelsea manage to score the 2nd one, I think Chelsea will not lose their advantage after that.
true, the performance shown by Mendy was truly extraordinary and of course he managed to repay the coach's trust that made him the number 1 goalkeeper in Chelsea today to replace Kepa (the most expensive goalkeeper in the world Grin) who often makes silly things the  under chelsea crossbar, I think if Mendy can continue to maintain his performance, of course he will be the next Peter Cech who is indeed the best goalkeeper ever in chelsea klub.

When Mendy first came to the club and had his first appearances, I thought that he was not good enough to be Chelsea's main goalkeeper. But after some time passed, he started getting better and better every day. And in this game, he was wonderful. I hope that he can go on like this and be an important part of the team.
everyone would not think that Mendy would play this well considering he is one of the young players
but who would have thought he was able to shift the main position to arrizabalaga and even he was able to surpass the record of the Chelsea legend goalkeeper Peter Cech
with 13 clean sheets and he even has a chance to grab the doubel winner this season considering the team has reached the final in 2 different competitions

And Kepa is another hopeless case really. He was actually better before. But I don't know how, he started playing really inadequately. And he started making many critical mistakes. Chelsea spent €80m on him and now he is not even the main GK.  Cheesy

Its really so sad to see a player as good as Eden Hazard become so bad at playing football...Real Madrid should just loan him next season to a smaller club to build his confidence
Loan him isn't the solution!
Real Madrid should put him on the transfer list, it is the right decision.
In my opinion, Real Madrid has no reason anymore to have Hazard on the squad. He didn't make a significant contribution to Real Madrid since he came to Santiago Bernabéu. Most of his time was on the bench and he couldn't show his best performance once he has time to play. Also, in the last match, we know that he has a bad attitude to the team. So, he deserves to put on the transfer list.
Most of the time, Hazard was not on the bench, but injured, although it seems that before that he was not particularly injured in other clubs. If in the first game with Chelsea in the Champions League, Hazard still stood out at times, then in the second game he was completely invisible. The club's management is very unhappy that Hazard laughed after the match along with former teammates from Chelsea and wants to put him on a transfer after the season. The club really wants to buy Mbappe and Haaland and Hazard with his big salary and slurred game is not satisfied with the club and Hazard has little time left until the end of the season to change his mind with his game.

So 9 of the 12 teams did a Mafia deal with Ceferin and 3 are still at War with UEFA.

What will happen next? Tomorrow we should have an official statement from Barca.

His times at Chelsea were really awesome. He was literally carrying the team in most of their games. He was the most valuable player for Chelsea. After he has gone to Real Madrid, something has changed about him. He is not performing the same now. He was really helpless against Chelsea in this tournament also.

PSG's elimination was one of the least expected in the UCL, a lot of us really thought fir them to have eliminated Bayern Munich, they were up to create there own wave and maybe bring the UCL to France for the first time but, Manchester City were very prepared not to let this happen. Gaurdiola was really not merciful in the second leg of the semi finals one beat. You can imagine him making substitute for elite players at the die minute of the match despite winning with 2 goals to nothing already.

Di Maria's red card was the worst thing that happened to that game. It was very unnecessary what he did, to have reached the way he did knowing fully were that he was being lured and tempted to make a mistake and he did. Played right into Fernandihno's plan and got booked. Very disappointing UCL for Neymar and Mbappe and I think Pochettino's team tactics was poor.
If PSG played any other team, they may have actually gone up but they were playing against City and they are a great team as well. Plus the most important part was that Mbappe couldn't play, dude had a calf injury and that is one of the worst ones for any football player and when you are missing one of the best players in the entire world you are not going to end up beating your opponent that easily no matter who they are.

They played as good as expected without Mbappe and when you put in the fact that Neymar was playing he did his best as well, however at the end of the day when you are lacking your best player it is understandable if you underperform than usual. Which is why this wasn't a shocking result, City is a magnificent team with a huge win streak this year plus PSG out of Mbappe and when you combine these two, I am shocked the difference wasn't bigger.

Manchester City vs Chelsea ODDs

Manchester City 1.95
Draw 3.55
Chelsea 4.35

bookmakers indicate Manchester city with low betting rates as the winner

at this point in the Champions League I usually don't bet anymore but I just play spectator

What do you think about it?


Yes, that's normal because Manchester City are the favorites to win this is not a first for both teams in the local league Man City won more matches against Chelsea
It's just that this is in a different situation things can happen even unexpectedly. For the bet I will go with Man City because I think they want to get 2 trophies at once EPL and UCL.


In as much as I would love Man City to lift the UCL, I don't think it's quite going to be as easy as the bookies odds are suggesting, at least more often than not this season the bookies have been proved wrong in the competition.

Chelsea have been playing really impressive football under Tuchel and they could all the way, we've seen them eliminate Guardiola's men already in a competition recently so, it's still an achievable feet if you ask me.

are spectators allowed at the atatürk olympic stadium in istanbul on may 29th ? is anything known about this ?
or will there be no spectators at the stadium at all this year. does anyone know anything about this ?
that would certainly be a super finale with 2 groups of fans singing for 90 minutes.
it's a real shame for the sport of football that a stupid pandemic like this can destroy something so important.

It is still unknown as you can easily read on the UEFA website.
Information about the ticket sales for this match (availability of tickets, application deadline, ticket prices, etc.) should be communicated early May 2021 but they are not out yet.
I think it will depend a lot from Turkey which could do another tackle to Europe by not allowing supporters into the stadium.

Hazard was not worth buying. it was too old and the Chelsea sold dearly in a good deal. The same situation with Ronaldo, whom Real Madrid sold to Juventus. These players have passed their peak of form and are unlikely to be able to show the previous game.

The FA Cup is not the ideal competition for making comparisons. There are many surprises in the FA Cup, every year small teams beat big teams. It is a very common thing.

But, tomorrow there will be a Man City vs Chelsea. It will be an anticipated UCL final, which will allow you to see what each team will be capable of. Even so, I think that the teams will not give everything in this match. They will not want to reveal strategies for the UCL final.

I fully agree with this. A lot of my friends saying that Chelsea recently won and that they are favorites. I can understand the hype about Tuchel's Chelsea, he really did a great job in a short period of time and has created a good team that plays good football.

But also, I don't think there's a team in the world that can be a favorite against this City team. There is a 20 points gap between these teams in the championship, City has better players, more depth, more experience and a better coach. Everything is on City's side, but football is really unpredictable and in 1 game anything can happen. Still, it's City's first CL final, they have been waiting for this for years, I feel they are too strong both quality-wise and mentality-wise not to take this.

^  Depending on who Pep plays for the league match vs Chelsea this Sunday, it could be a prelude to the UCL final imo. 

And in hindsight and after doing some reading about Real, it’s amazing to see Zidane reach the semi finals with that ailing Real side.  That squad def over performed and should’ve been out of the tourney as early as the KO stages. 

Indeed, Madrid looks not ready for UCL they still have some internal problems and also players but that is not the basic reason because UCL needs the best
Meanwhile the other teams seemed more prepared with all the preparations of course we have to admit it

I personally can't wait to see the finals and I do hope both teams will produce high class football and deliver lots of goals.
PSG and Chelsea, this is the best I could imagine ... I would very much like to see these teams in the final someday ...

For me this wasnt the ideal final. Bayern vs City or vs PSG is ideal.
Quarter finals between bayern and psg was such a big and good match. The best one i watched in couple of years

The Manchester City team is much stronger than Chelsea. But Chelsea occasionally became irresistible. Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup. Chelsea lost 3-1 to Manchester City in their previous match in the Premier League. So it is still difficult to predict which team will win the Champions League title.

If you look at the head to head of the two teams, it looks like it will be quite an exciting match to watch because in several meetings between Celsea and Manchester City the two teams recorded fairly balanced results, so it is certain that the final will be tight and also tough, this season's final champion league is a reminder we are in the champions league final which occurred in 2008 and 2019, at which time the two finalists came from the english league and of course this is a symbol if the current premier league is still the best league in the world, and the two teams will certainly give their all to be able to win the trophy because even City can make history if they succeed in winning the Champions League for the first time, as well as Chelsea, of course they will try to get the Champions League trophy for the second time.

The problem is that, in a sense, for me personally, the Champions League has become the Premier League ... I assumed that Manchester could face Chelsea in the final, but I did not think that Real Madrid would lose to Chelsea so easily.

i hope is fun game Cheesy
It will be a favorite of each other's fans I know both teams have a lot of fans around the world so when they meet in the Istanbul Champions League final there will be a lot of bets going on as big as they will do because in the belief that Manchester City and Chelsea have more power and more interesting game.

I will just wait for the game and I will see some predictive analysis because this is the first final for Manchester, of course it will be very different when the Final later.
