CHELSEA, THE KINGS OF EUROPE!
Thomas Tuchel men were glorious against Pep Guardiola side in the EUFA champions League final played in Estádio do Dragão in Porto.
Chelsea displayed an impressive game against Manchester City beating the Premier League champions 1-0 thanks to Khai Harvertz finish after an assist from Mason Mount.
This win means that Pep have failed to beat Chelsea since Thomas Tuchel take over,losing all the three matches.
The Manchester City manager has been accused of repeatedly overthinking European matches in the 10 years since he last lifted the trophy with Barcelona.
However, even after a brilliant run to this year's final, during which City saw off Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, Guardiola couldn't resist one last tactical tweak.
Or maybe,he wanted to prove his genius by trying something different in the final.Whatever the reason,Guardiola's decision to play without a defensive midfielder backfired in his face .
This formation put city defensive line in jeopardy as Chelsea attackers dig in into the side.
Ngolo kante was more than free to collect any loose balls and push the blues in front.
Neither Fernandinho nor Rodri were charged with protecting the defence, with the more attack-minded Ilkay Gundogan moved back to the base of midfield.
City would have been punished earlier had Timo Werner been in RB Leipzig mode. Instead, the German maintained his Chelsea form, miskicking horribly in front of goal after Ben Chilwell’s cutback, before then shooting tamely at Ederson from barely 10 yards out.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has achieved much since taking over from Frank Lampard.Chelsea were able to finish in top four and winning the champions League thanks to the German tachtician.
The Blues boss has hinted that there will be an announcement on an extension to his current 18-month deal.
