2020-21 UEFA Champions League Final: Chelsea’s Triumph Over Manchester City

The 2020-21 UEFA Champions League final witnessed a thriller as English club Chelsea triumphed over their fellow English rivals, Manchester City, in a hard-fought clash. The historic match, which took place on May 29, 2021, was played at the Estádio do Drag?o in Porto, Portugal. German forward Kai Havertz's sole goal in the 90th minute secured Chelsea's second Champions League title, following their victory in the 2011-12 season.

Group Stage Performances and Favorites

Several teams showcased impressive performances in the group stages, including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Although Chelsea did not perform to their peak during the group stages, they remained as strong contenders for the UEFA Champions League final. In my opinion, whether it is Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich, either of these teams could potentially emerge victorious in the ongoing final.

Final Match Analysis

The final match was not without its drama. Bayern Munich secured the 2020 UEFA Champions League title by defeating Paris Saint-Germain with a single goal scored by Kingsley Coman, a player who had spent his youth at PSG. This unexpected goal came after an exceptional pass by Thiago, highlighting the tactical genius of the match. The final score read 1-0, with Bayern bagging their sixth Champions League title.
