What a coach Tuchel is, phenomenal. I despise both teams that are in the final because of their ownership, but you have to respect both coaches and both teams. Very likable.
Very good tie for Pulisic as well, it's obvious Lampard had something against him.
If there is one team that can beat Man City this year, it's Chelsea, they proved that in FA Cup, and I think they can do it again.

Fourth year in a row with a coach made in Mainz in the UCL final.

2017/18 - Klopp
2018/19 - Klopp
2019/20 - Tuchel

Chilwell has been phenomenal. One of the best LB's in the world imo. If he were a better crosser of the ball he'd be legitimately world class.

City starting without a defensive midfielder.

Pep gonna have to answer some difficult questions if this goes wrong for City.

You have to say he is getting in good position far more often than most other strikers but he is just poor at converting and also creating for others.

Gundogan, Fernandinho on.
City don't have the midfield.

Exactly what I said prior to the game.

Pep overthinking once again hurting him.

It's probably his only flaw, but it's a huge one.

Well deserved. Can Agüero play 45 minutes? Should bring him and Rodri to begin the 2nd. Silva and Sterling/Mahrez out.

They still have 45 mins to correct this but it’s clearly the game deciding point at the moment.

Chelsea has way too much space on the left wing because there‘s no DM who will help out Walker. 2 vs 1 quite often there.

That ref is such a clown.
When I watch La Liga it's the same thing.

He just wants to be the center of attention.

Agreed. At least he is not made a huge mistake so far.
