It’s an all-English Champions League final tonight as Chelsea take on Manchester City in front of fans at Porto’s Estádio do Dragão stadium.

Scorers: Havertz 42′.
Chelsea currently lead the 2021 Champions League final thanks to Kai Havertz’s first ever goal in the competition.
Timo Werner was heavily involved in the opening stages of the first-half, mis-hitting a shot when Havertz found him free in the area before scuffing another close-range effort straight at Ederson.
Thiago Silva then had to leave the pitch injured in the 38th minute leaving Thomas Tuchel deflated but the German’s mood changed four minutes later.
Mason Mount’s through ball split open the City defence leaving Havertz to run through on goal before he rounded Ederson and rolled the ball into the empty net to give his side the lead.
Pep Guardiola’s problems have been heightened as Kevin De Bruyne has gone off injury after a collision with Rüdiger.
Chelsea have missed a huge change to gain a two-goal cushion with Christian Pulisic flashing his shot just wide of the far post after being played in by Havertz on the counter-attack.
Sergio AgĂĽero has just entered the fray for the last time in a Manchester City shirt.
