The 2021 Champions League is for Chelsea: the Blues defeat Manchester City in an all-English final and win the most prestigious European club competition for the second time.
Towards the end of the first half, it was a goal from Kay Havertz that decided the match played at the Dragao Stadium in Oporto. A game in fact dominated by the London team, which was able to harness the opponents relegating them to possession of the ball often sterile and highly unproductive.
Pep Guardiola, coach of the Citizens, still a defeat: the times of tiki taka and triumphs with Barcelona are long gone: despite having won the Premier League championship this year, he still sees the European stage bewitched.
Chelsea won their second Champions League thanks to coaches who took over during the current season: it happened a few years ago with our Roberto Di Matteo, now it happens with Thomas Tuchel. For the German, an immense satisfaction, having already come close to his goal last year with PSG, but then surrendered to Bayern Munich in the final.
Among other things, he is the third consecutive German manager to triumph: two years ago it was the turn of Jurgen Klopp on the Liverpool bench, last year to Hans Dieter Fllick with Bayern Munich and this year precisely to Tuchel.
Chelsea go to two titles, equaling teams such as Nottingham Forrest, Porto and Juventus in the special ranking. In the all-time ranking, Real Madrid obviously commands with thirteen triumphs, followed by Milan with seven and Bayern Munich and Liverpool paired at six.
