Phil Foden (aged 21 yrs, 1 day) becomes the third youngest English player to start in a UCL Final after Owen Hargreaves for Bayern Munich in 2001 (20 yrs, 123 days) & Trent Alexander-Arnold for Liverpool in both 2018 (19 yrs, 231 days) & 2019 (20 yrs, 237 days).
60: De Bruyne leaves the UCL Final in tears after a nasty clash with Antonio Rudiger. It’s not been De Bruyne’s night but it appeared totally accidental from Rudiger.
Sterling takes the armband.
Are you wondering why Rudiger wearing a mask tonight? Well, I was curious too.
Apparently Rudiger, 28, suffered a facial injury in Chelsea’s 1-1 first leg draw with Real Madrid.
He was then seen wearing a protective mask in the second leg, which the Blues won 2-0 to reach the Champions League final.
76: SUB! Sterling departs, and on comes Sergio Aguero for his 390th game for Manchester City. For a final time in the light blue. Boy do they need him now.
Can Sergio Aguero save the day for City?
That’s it! Chelsea are Champions of Europe!
Tuchel made it!
What an incredible run for the entire Chelsea team!
Pep Guardiola’s quest for this cherished prize with Manchester City goes on. Sergio Aguero is in tears.
A well contested final. Hope to see you once again in the finals next year and secure the trophy in 2022!
Chelsea’s name is on the
for a second time!

The last three managers to win the UCL after losing the final in the previous season:

It’s a German thing.
In his debut Champions League campaign, Édouard Mendy has equalled the competition record for most clean sheets kept in a single season.
12 games
9 clean sheets
3 goals conceded
1 trophy
And he’s the first African goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in the UCL final.
No English side has won more trophies than Chelsea since Roman Abramovich took over the club:
FA Cup
Premier League
League Cup
Europa League
Champions League
They now have at least two of each.
Only three goalkeepers have kept 9+ clean sheets in a single UCL campaign:
Santiago Canizares (2001)
Keylor Navas (2016)
Edouard Mendy (2021)
Reminder: This is Mendy’s debut UCL season.
