And two.

Nine months after the one lost with PSG against Bayern Munich, Thiago Silva and Thomas Tuchel will once again play a Champions League final, this time under the colors of Chelsea, after their victory against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

A hell of a revenge for the two men, pushed out by the Parisian leaders.

The first because he was too old (36 years old), the second - bluntly - because he expressed his incomprehension a little too head-on in relation to certain situations.

Tuchel found "a lot of support from day one"

Sacked on Christmas Eve, the German coach took over Chelsea on January 26 and straightened the Blues spectacularly, moving them from 10th to 4th in the Premier League and offering them their first C1 final since 2012 Above all, he gave them a real playing identity, which he had failed to do with PSG.

In London, he seems to have found players who listen to him.

"It's not against PSG or to show anything, it's a gift to work in football every day, to have guys who push and who trust me, he reacted. Wednesday evening.

The (local) culture is always different.

I just want to talk about Chelsea, I found here a very strong club, totally focused on winning, with a very strong mentality, a lot of support for me from day one.

"

"It's not a revenge", but a little all the same

But in saying that, he's not just talking about Chelsea, of course.

For his part, Thiago Silva, captain of PSG for many years, is happy to prove that he is not finished.

And enjoys the moment with his trainer, whom he is close to.

“It's special for both of us.

Unfortunately, Paris failed to do the job.

It was sad for the players, for me too, said the Brazilian.

It is not revenge.

PSG made their choice, to let me go, to release Tuchel too.

It's hard to explain, for me it was sad, but the most important thing is that we are happy here with Chelsea.

"

Not a revenge, therefore, but a little anyway from what we understand.

The feeling is legitimate.

From now on, it is up to them to fulfill their "dream" of winning this C1, after the failure of last August.

It will face Manchester City on May 29 in Istanbul.
