UEFA Champions League 2020/21 - Chelsea FC Champions.

[Cruyff14]

Huge from Chelsea and Tuchel.

Kante is definitely one of the most loved players of all time by opposition fans.

Im getting texts from man utd fans celebrating chelseas win/citys loss. strange....its got nothing to do with me

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Won't make a difference to transfers. If we're going for Kane that would have been decided months ago. One game isn't going to change that.

Yeah but today's result probably adds another 50m to Kane's valuation.

Man City badly needs a proper striker.

Why not just give Kun another season

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Kante is a ******* machine

Kante proved again tonight that he's the best midfielder in the world. He's a freak of nature.

Wasn’t expecting that. Well done Chelsea. Kante, what a player. 3x consecutive MOTM awards across the semi finals and final.

Huge from Chelsea and Tuchel.

I'd also like to express my fondness for that particular player.

Apparently
Garcia, Aguero, Emerson, and Georginio Wijnaldum close to being Barca players.

sport evolves and changes over time. I remember the good old days of footy (80s). Basically no one staged, or threw their head back. Now we have selwood etc play for frees and exaggerate contact. Its relative.

what does the bolded bit mean>

Zero ****s were given lol.

 

[RPCB]

Haha, then Havertz turns to Dave when the interviewer is apologizing like “oh, you can’t say that on live TV outside of Germany?” Lol.

real shocker of a way to lose. utterly toothless. people will go after pep but i had no issues with the team. there was more than enough out there to win but the midfield and final third were just pathetic.

you don’t ever seem to criticise him but I would suggest picking Sterling who has not been starting (in recent important games) because he has been sucking so bad would constitute a bad decision.

Not playing a DM.

Could have gone nuts and played aguero as a striker too

that was probably what he got wrong, but i dont think it is unreasonable also to expect a certain level from players. gabby hasnt been much better and kun only just got a bit of form

It wasn't like City were outplayed. They had 60% possession but the ball didn't land their way in the penalty area. Chelsea got a good chance and took it.

But I was surprised City started with Sterling. He has been out of form for a while, and James towelled him. I was also surprised Rodri didn't play. He controls the tempo of games but it felt like City were trying to play at Chelsea's fast pace. Losing De Bruyne was massive. I hope he's alright. He looked distraught as he left the pitch.

i dont think we got outplayed, but chelsea just choked us. the 3 at the back, 5 when they didnt have it and kante going up and back just suffocated us and left us no space to operate. but we played 2 dm's in the fa cup semi final and the same sort of thing happened. but when you're constantly told that you have effectively 2 teams and that there are 18 world class players, i dont think it's unreasonable to expect a certain level from whoever is out there, and most out there didn't reach the level required. i just seems far easier to blame the manager, but what was out there was more than capable of winning this match, but weren't good enough

Is the CL on Optus next season? The way Bayliss signed off today made it sound like that was it?

i dont think they have any next season

No, that random new company got it but may not hold it?

Nobody has it yet. Sportsflick pulled out claimimg uncertainty from the ESL talks as the reason.

I just emailed a bid, awaiting a response.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Congrats Chelski.

I should not have bet against that curse where all first time finalists for the UCL lose (happened the last 18 times or so apparently)

I feel like such a tool

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Chelsea have never won a CL with a manager who was managing club at start of calendar year/season.

That gotcha was so shit that I am shocked anyone actually fell for it.

 

[Sprout]

Game was cooked before KDB went off. Wasn’t just about the lack of a DM, although starting Dino/Rodri seemed obvious. Chelsea just gave that extra 5% which for whatever reason we couldn’t find and defended like their lives depended on it.

Sucks for Kun but I guess he’s filled his quota on fairytale endings.

Great match and deserved winner. Congrats to the Chelski fans here.
