The game of chess, the meeting of strategists, the battle of slates was decided by a spark. A masterful pass from Mason Mount to Kai Havertz that destroyed the hopes of being champion of Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City and placed the second Champions to the showcases of Chelsea (0-1).

As if it were the 2012 final, Chelsea re-emerged as underdogs to surprise and rely on the drawing of Thomas Tuchel, the genius of his young people and the experience of the captain to conquer the second Champions League and deny Guardiola a honey that has been resisting him for ten years and that he will have to continue chasing with a first-time City that is not adapted to these games.
