Blues try to win the second title while Cityzens seek the unprecedented title of the competition
The great day has come. Soon, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio do Dragão, in Portugal, Chelsea and Manchester City will take the field to find out who takes the most important club trophy in the world. Champion in 2012, Chelsea are looking for their second title, while City are trying their first title in the competition.
Premier League champion and unbeaten in the Champions League with 11 wins and a draw, Manchester City arrives packed and looking for the first Champions League title. On the way to the knockout stage, the Englishmen City eliminated Borussia Mönchengladbach; in the quarterfinals, the victim was Borussia Dortmund; while in the semifinals the opponent was Paris Saint-Germain.
For the decision, coach Pep Guardiola, who has two titles won in the tournament (2008/09 and 2010/11) when he commanded Barcelona, must have Gundogan in midfield alongside Bernardo Silva. The Brazilian Fernandinho may also appear among the starters in Rodri’s place.
Chelsea have a season divided before Tuchel and after Tuchel. The German coach joined the Blues in January, after Frank Lampard resigned, and changed the team’s level. Despite the FA Cup runner-up, the coach has only lost five in 29 matches.

In the round of 16, the Blues eliminated Atlético de Madrid; in the quarterfinals, the opponent was Porto; in the semifinals, the duel was with Real Madrid.
For the match, Chelsea have some concerns before the ball rolls. Mendy had to be replaced in the loss to Aston Villa, but he must start the confrontation, as well as N’Golo Kante, who can return after recovering from a thigh problem.
The quotation for De Bruyne to score, at any time during the duel, for Manchester City, is 3.20. That Werner will do the same for Chelsea is 4.00. The bet on a tie with goals pays 5.00. In equality without goals, 8.00.
Other more specific bets can also be placed. The price of which more than nine corners will be scored is 1.83. Of which exactly nine will be marked by the referee, 7.50. For less than nine, 2.40.
