Chelsea has won the Champions League title for the second time in history by beating Man City in the final. The team led by Thomas Tuchel faced the EPL winners Manchester City led by Pep Guardiola.

It was the first-ever UCL  final appearance for City. But bad luck for them.

The match started with equal dominance. Both teams attacked whenever they had a chance. Never mind the 2 big chances missed by Timo Werner. The major turn came in the match in 42 minutes when Mason Mount did a massive through-ball to German player, Kai Havertz. And he made sure that the ball touched the net. 

In fact, it is the first-ever goal of Kai Havertz in the Champions League and that wins the team a title. Not bad !!

Thomas Tuchel absolutely deserves credit. After a heartbreak loss in the Champions League Final 2019/20 with PSG to Bayern, he made a comeback with Chelsea by winning them the UCL title after 8 years.

At the same time, Aguero is going to leave Man City after 10 years in tears. Today, he played for the last time for Man City. Though they won the league title just a few days back. Pep Guardiola and the team had made history by playing the first-ever Champions League final.
