Chelsea win Champions League trophy 1-0

Chelsea beat Man City  to win Champions League after 9 years Chelsea won the Champions League for the second times  in all-English beating Manchester City, with Kai Havertz scoring the winner three minutes before half-time when he collected a defence-spitting pass from Mason Mount to round City goalkeeper Emerson. Thomas Tuche got the better of Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola for the third time succeeding sacked Frank Lampard in January to bring European club Football’s prestigious prize back to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2012. Manchester City is still searching for the Champions League, the trophy that has always eluded them.

Guardiola  decided against using either Rodri or Fernandinho as a defensive midfielder, leaving Manchester City with a muddled game plan that reduced their effectiveness and rarely presented Chelsea with any problems.

Tino Werner wasting two good chances before Havertz struck and substitute Christian Pulisic squandering  another in the second half.

City lost Kevin De Bruyne to injury midway through the second  half, threw on Sergio Aguero for his final appearance but there was no fairytale ending for the club’s greatest goal scorerer as Chelsea closed out the win.
