Chelsea top Manchester City 1-0 to win Champions League 3 minutes read
Porto, Portugal, May 29 (EFE).- Kai Havertz’s goal with three minutes left in the first half proved to be all Chelsea would need here Saturday to defeat Manchester City 1-0 and win the Champions League for the second time in their history.
For Blues coach Thomas Tuchel, who was at the helm of Paris Saint-Germain when they lost the 2020 final to Bayern Munich by the identical score, the result represented vindication.
Fired by PSG last year amid conflict with management, the German took charge in January of a Chelsea side that had dropped to the middle of the Premier League title and led them to two finals – they lost the FA Cup to Leicester City – and a fourth-place finish.
