In the early morning of May 30, Beijing time, the final of the 2020-2021 Champions League ended at the Dragon Stadium in Porto. In the end, Hafferts scored the only goal to help Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 and win the Champions League for the second time in history. This is the peak that Chelsea once again reached the top of European football after nine years. It is also the spirit of indomitable struggle and unity and cooperation that they demonstrated in their championship story this season.
After taking office midway through the season, Chelsea coach Tuhull has defeated Manchester City three times in a row, leading Chelsea back on track. His tactical system and player cooperation have been recognized and praised by fans and the media. He not only completed his first Champions League trophy in his coaching career, but also became the first coach in history to lead different teams to the Champions League finals for two consecutive years.
City coach Pep Guardiola suffered his first defeat in his coaching career. He failed to find a suitable team and tactical plan in the current Champions League, which made the team lose the initiative and control. He also failed to mobilize the morale and confidence of the players to make them perform well at the critical moment.
From the comparison of data, Chelsea had a clear advantage in this game. Their ball control rate reached 62%, the number of shots was 14 (9 of which were on target), the number of corner kicks was 6 (4 of which were on target), the number of fouls was 8 (3 of which were yellow cards), and there were two more opportunities in the supplementary time stage. However, Manchester City has only 46% ball control rate, with 10 shots (4 of which are on target), 3 corner kicks (2 of which are on target) and 12 fouls (4 of which are yellow cards). It can be said that Chelsea completely suppressed Manchester City and was ready for the final attack.
Haffetz is the most praiseworthy hero in this game. He scored the winning goal at the crucial moment when he participated in the Champions League for the 20th time. This is his second time to enter the Champions League finals since the 2018 World Cup, and also his first time to score in the Champions League. The goal not only brought victory to Chelsea, but also left an unforgettable honor to Hafferts.
Tuhel was one of the most influential figures in the game. He showed his ability to grasp the team and tactics in the first half, and gave every player full trust and encouragement. In the second half, he showed his ability to control the rhythm and atmosphere of the game, and used his unique language to encourage his teammates to move forward. At the final whistle, he embraced his assistants and players excitedly and thanked them for their dedication.
This is a game full of passion and drama. It is also a game that shows the strength and charm of Chelsea and Tuhel. They proved that they are the king of European football and the best players in the world with their own performance.
