Manchester City will face Chelsea in the 66th European Cup final. The Citizens are in the final for the first time, while the Blues will take part in their third showpiece having lifted the trophy once, in 2012. The match will be held at the Estadio Dragao in Porto. The final was originally intended to take place at Istanbul, but UEFA decided to switch the venue due to Covid-19 restrictions. There will be a limited number of spectators at the stadium. Both teams received 6,000 tickets each for fans, with 20,000 people in total expected to attend the match. The referee will be Mateu Lahoz, a 44-year-old Spaniard who has "history" with Guardiola. Lahoz sent Pep off in the Champions League quarter-final defeat against Liverpool in 2018. Leroy Sane's disallowed goal sparked the clash at Etihad Stadium that led to Guardiola being sent to the stands. After the match, Guardiola said the official likes to be different. "He's a referee who likes to feel different, he's special. When everybody sees things, he is going to see the opposite. It's too much to send me off because I didn't say any wrong word," said Guardiola at the time.

Manchester City beat Everton with 5:0 in the last round of the Premier League and showed their offensive power. The players lifted the trophy on the ceremony after the match and pleased the fans. Five goals against a side managed by Carlo Ancelotti is something that should be respected. But the clean sheet have to be mentioned too. The £65m signing of defender Ruben Dias from Benfica was a game-changer, seemingly curing defensive vulnerability at a stroke. Previously they lifted the Carabao Cup after beat Tottenham at Wembley. But the Arab owners are no more satisfied with domestic titles, they want the Champions League trophy, nothing less. Pep Guardiola is feeling some pressure, he know how important this match is. So far he won everything but this trophy. Winning the Champions League would further cement his credentials as the best manager. The dreams of quadruple ended following their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea two weeks ago, but they will try to secure a treble. On the way to the final, Manchester City have eliminated two German outfits and PSG. Six wins from six matches surely means something. The Citizens reached the quarter-finals after beating Borusia M'Gladbach with 4:0 aggregate victory. It wasn't easy against Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 4, but City won 4:2 on aggregate. Finally, Pep and his players secured the final after two victories against PSG. It was 2:1 in Paris and 2:0 at the Etihad. Guardiola has a full squad to choose from. Ilkay Gundogan, who suffered injury against Brighton, is fit to play, while Joao Cancelo is back from suspension.

Chelsea started the season poor, but the things started to improve since Thomas Tuchel was appointed as new manager instead of Frank Lampard. The German coach was very successful so far. The Blues secured the fourth place in the Premier League, and will take part in the final of the Champions League. I believe the owner Roman Abramovich is satisfied with the results, as well as the fans. Even more, Tuchel said they will be competitive with Manchester City the next season. Chelsea have eliminated Atletico Madrid in the first knock-out round with two victories. They won 1:0 as guests and 2:0 as hosts. Porto were the victims in the quarter-finals. The West Londoners did the job in the first match, winning 2:0 away. The narrow 1:0 loss at Stamford Bridge was acceptable. Finally, the Blues beat Real Madrid 3:1 on aggregate to reach the final. The draw in the first leg in Madrid was followed with a convincing 2:0 win at home. The German coach has most of the players available ahead of this match, but first goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is rated as doubtful with a rib injury. He collided with a post trying to keep out Traore's goal against Aston Villa. Mendy was replaced by Kepa Arrizabalaga for the second half and it is not clear if he will start in the final. Important midfielder N’Golo Kante is also an injury doubt. According to the last reports, they will be ready for this match.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Prediction:

Manchester City face Chelsea in the final, having lost twice against Thomas Tuchel's side in the last six weeks, including the FA Cup semi-final. Nevertheless, I still believe in Guardiola and his players. They are in better form than Chelsea at the moment. The Blues have suffered three defeats on the last four matches across all competitions, including the FA Cup Final. Chelsea were lucky to secured Top-4 finish after they lost 2:1 to Aston Villa in the last round. Manchester City are closer to the victory.

It’s the Champions League Final on Saturday and Manchester City take on Chelsea at the Stadion Energa Gdansk stadium. We take a look at the stats and best football tips.​

Champions League Record​

Manchester City
Record: W11 D1 L0 F25 A4
Top scorer: Riyad Mahrez, Ferran Torres (4)
Semi-finals: Beat PSG
Quarter-finals: Beat Dortmund
Round of 16: Beat Mönchengladbach

Chelsea
Record: W8 D3 L1 F22 A4
Top scorer: Olivier Giroud (6)
Semi-finals: Beat Real Madrid
Quarter-finals: Beat Porto
Round of 16: Beat Atlético

It’s an all English final in the Champions League and the team that finished first in the Premier League against the team that finished fourth. Of course Chelsea changed managers midway through the season and with a full season in charge Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel would expect to mount a strong title challenge.

Both sides have reached a domestic final this season with Manchester City winning the EFL Cup and Chelsea losing the FA Cup final to Leicester. That could be an advantage to Chelsea who’s players would surely not want to taste defeat in a major final for a second time this month.

Manchester City’s Champions League record this season has been incredible. Of twelve games played they have won eleven and drawn the other. They have scored over two goals per game and only conceded four goals. Chelsea have been strong as well winning eight of twelve and also only conceding four goals.


Both sides have faced some very strong teams on their route to the final. Manchester City faced last seasons finalists and Tuchel’s former club PSG in their Semi Final and won both legs, 1-2 and 2-0. Chelsea played Real Madrid and they drew 1-1 away and won 2-0 at home.

The two teams have played each other twice recently and it’s Chelsea with the advantage there as they have won both games. First they won the FA Cup Semi Final 1-0 and then won 1-2 in the Premier League although Manchester City may argue they did not take those games as seriously as they will be taking this one. The Premier League game for example was when Manchester City had already wrapped up the league and Chelsea still had something to play for.

Manchester City – Form

The Premier League champions have won seven of their last ten games but have lost two of their last five and it has been an odd close to the season for Manchester City with the title being wrapped up for some time. They have not really taken their foot of the peddle though and one of the losses was to Brighton where Man City had Cancelo sent off early.

Their most recent and last game in the Premier League resulted in a 5-0 win for Man City against Everton. That game was Aguero’s last Premier League match and he managed a double in the second half, with Foden, De Bruyne and Jesus scoring the other goals.

Manchester City have averaged 5.4 corners and 2.2 cards per game.

Chelsea – Form

The side from West London have stuttered into the close of the Premier League winning only two of their last five. That’s two losses in the league to Arsenal and Aston Villa and the FA Cup Final to Leicester and they only just managed to finish in the top four thanks to Tottenham’s win against Leicester on the final day of the Premier League.

The Aston Villa loss was Chelsea’s most recent game and they lost that 2-1 thanks to ex player Bertrand Traore who scored one goal and won a penalty for Villa’s second. Chelsea pulled one back through Ben Chilwell but never really looked like winning and have struggled with converting chances recently.

Chelsea have averaged 7.1 corners and 1.4 cards per game.

Key Player: Ex Chelsea man Kevin De Bruyne is always excellent and seems to relish showing Chelsea exactly what they have missed scoring three in his last five matches against them.

Betting Tips: It’s going to be a tense and tight affair. I fully expect a chess match between two very good managers and well drilled sides. I am expecting a lack of goals but plenty of cards and i think we may see penalties again.

Manchester City

It is the first time for them to play for the final of UEFA Champions League. They play so well this season that they have never suffered any defeat yet. And they even get six-match winning streak. They are looking good for a shot at the title.


Chelsea

They are more experienced that Man City as they won the champion of the League in 2011-2012 season. In addition, Thomas Tuchel has led PSG and Chelsea coming to the final of the League continuously, which is the one with luck and strategy.


Verdict:

Both of them are in form and make great preparation for upcoming game. Manchester City are good at offensive. Chelsea play well on defensive. It is predicted the game will end with a draw in 90 minutes.


Goals in Match: 2-3 goals

You have insider information about the final ?!?!?
Unbelievable !!!

Both Guardiola and Tuhel will know better than anyone else that the form comes out theoretically when you reach the Champions League final, which should give the Londoners hope that they could celebrate a European trophy at the end of the night.

Manchester City has had a history of failure on the European stage and the pressure has been on since the beginning of the year. The team from London will not go down raising a white flag, but we support Guardiola to end his match waiting for the European success with the giants of Manchester. I expect the defenses to star and the under 2.5, it has significant luck, but in the end Manchester City to lift the trophy
