Champions League 2021 | “Chelsea” is the Champion of Europe!
Chelsea wins the Champions League for the second time after 9 years.
Tuchel takes advantage! Guardiola, Manchester City’s nightmare! Havertz signs the Cup for Chelsea! Set up a goal for the German in the 42nd minute, his first Cup achievement with the Blues. Manchester City, almost never dangerous. This is how the 29th season closes with the 2021 Champions League final, which registers Celsi as the winner and the return of fans to the stadium after this long and devastating pandemic.
Nine years after Roberto Di Mateo, Thomas Tuchel arrives to win the most prestigious trophy of European clubs, for the second time in Celsi’s history. We believe that the victory was deserved according to our judgment. The Celsi players were superior in terms of the quality of the game, with a solid, well-organized defense and a dangerous counter-attack, as was the case in the second half in the final minutes, where Pulisic missed a clear opportunity for a 2-0 victory.
Manchester, on the other hand, created a great volume and played in Celsi’s half-field, but without danger, without clear ideas and often their shares were broken immediately. It should be noted, however, that even though this match ended with only one goal, the game developed had a high rhythm. For Guardiola, winning the Champions League after Barcelona continues to remain a taboo.
