Man City vs Chelsea: Champions League Final LIVE!

Chelsea are celebrating being crowned Champions League winners for only the second time after a memorable victory over Manchester City in Porto on Saturday night.

The Blues were excellent in an entertaining final at the Estadio do Dragao, thoroughly deserving of a hard-fought 1-0 victory secured courtesy of a cool first-half strike from £71million record signing Kai Havertz that came after a superb, defence-splitting Mason Mount pass.

The triumph - Chelsea's first in the Champions League since that famous 2012 night in Munich - represents an incredible turnaround from Thomas Tuchel, who has far exceeded expectations since replacing Frank Lampard in January and is now set to be handed a long-term contract after positive talks with owner Roman Abramovich on Sunday morning.

As for domestic champions Manchester City, their frustrating wait for a first taste of Champions League glory continues after a chastening evening in Portugal.

Angry questions regarding Pep Guardiola's surprising team selection will no doubt rage on among fans, while Kevin De Bruyne could now miss the start of Euro 2020 after confirming that he fractured his nose and eye socket during an accidental collision with Antonio Rudiger.
