People act like pep has the galacticos and other managers have mortals.. He just plays the best football that's why people unconsciously expect him to be the par default winner.. I see the individuals of chealsea and city and I see no reason why someone would act as if pep is privilegied.

Him spending a huge amounts of money on average Joe's is why.

I totally disagree. They can be very good for the next 4-5 years. Very young squad and Tuchel seems to be more homely at this side than at PSG.

I don't even rate their manager. Their squad is good, but it's not a team that should be beating that City team. Pep completely messed up tonight.

They finished 4th in the league with 67 points. It's not a coincidence. They're not that good. It reminds me back in 2012 when they won it. They didn't have a great manager or a great team, but they seemed to snuff a result out. Chelsea won't come anywhere close to winning it next season. Good team, but definitely overachieved. Heck, they lost to Leicester in the final not so long ago.

N'Golo and Havertz men of the match :thumbsup:


I'll never understand TucTuc's obsession with Werner.

Defensively, they're so synched with the whole team defending as one. If they somehow manage to get Haaland, they'll be tops on both ends.

Or he could use Kai as number 9. Whenever he did, it was a success.

City was so bad, they lacked urgency and inspiration. All in all, a bad quality Champions League this season. It was anyone's to win, and Chelsea was the most ruthless. Still, one of the most underwhelming winner in the last year.

Let's not go overboard guys. City was bad, Chelsea was the better side for sure but Chelsea hasn't been that great at all either.

Chelsea were good, but tbh, Chelsea is pretty early in rebuilding. A third of their team has been brought last summer or so. They have no business winning CLs at this point. It's an insane achievement for Tuchel.
