05 May 2021In Istanbul it will be the English derby.
Chelsea reach Manchester City in the Champions League final with a classic 2-0 win against Real Madrid.
At Stamford Bridge the 'merengues' leave an opaque impression, despite the 1-1 draw of the first leg left more than a few chinks to get the ticket to Turkey.
Tuchel joins Havertz to Werner forward, Mount in support, Jorginho and Kanté hinges in midfield. Zidane with Benzema as center forward, Junior Vinicius and Hazard at his side. Midfield with Kroos, Casemiro and Modric. Start blocked, Rudiger's blow from distance does not catch Courtois unprepared. Edouard Mendy is much more busy when Benzema places his right foot from the edge: the Senegalese goalkeeper stretches out and sends for a corner with his fingertips. The reaction of the 'blues' unlocks the race. At 28 'Kanté bursts into the center and serves Havertz who calls Courtois at the exit and overtakes him with a lob, a ball that hits the crossbar with Werner resting his head on the net. For Real the usual Benzema reacts, header from Kroos cross, Edouard Mendy gets up on the crossbar.
Chelsea begin the recovery with the intention of closing the account. Cross by Azpilicueta, Havertz jumps without contrast, full crossbar (47 '). Werner's heel for Mount who wedges himself in the area but kicks to the stars. Then a sensational chance wasted by Havertz, who enters the area all alone on the precise verticalization of Jorginho and kicks on Courtois. The goalkeeper does his by closing the mirror, but the mistake is all of the German. Zidane tries to turn on his with Asensio, instead of the dull Vinicius. Double chance for Hazard and Casemiro, rejected by Edouard Mendy and Rudiger. Another big 'blues' opportunity with Kanté's escape on the counterattack, Courtois comes out low and keeps his men afloat. Rodrygo for Casemiro, Zidane asks everything to his forwards in the final. Chelsea miss yet another opportunity to close:Pulisic enters the area from the right and hits low, Havertz does not manage to push into the net. At 85 'the blow of the ko. Kanté blows the ball to Nacho and triggers Pulisic who enters the area and goes to the bottom, awaits Mount's cut and serves him precisely to double. For Chelsea it is the riot.
