Chelsea have won their second Champions League title after Kai Havertz dashed Manchester City’s dreams with the only goal of the final in Porto. Victory completes an astonishing turnaround at the club under Thomas Tuchel, four months after the German took over following Frank Lampard’s sacking.
In a move that started from their goalkeeper Édouard Mendy three minutes before half-time, Mason Mount took possession from Ben Chilwell and passed wonderfully to leave City’s high line floundering. Havertz was left completely free, bearing down on the area and kept his balance, hurdling the onrushing Ederson before putting the ball into an empty net.
