In the 67th minute of this evening’s Champions League final that Chelsea went on to win against Manchester City, Cesar Azpilicueta made a crucial stop to keep the Blues ahead.

Some silky Tiki-Taka play in midfield left Phil Foden to drive forward, the mercurial talent stepped away from Andreas Christensen before slipping the ball out wide to Riyad Mahrez.

Mahrez slotted in a dangerous low cross that looked bound to end in a tap-in for Ilkay Gundogan, but up stepped the Blues’ longest-serving first-team player to maintain Chelsea’s lead…

Azpilicueta slid down to block the ball, sending it soaring over the bar. Azpilicueta put it all on the like – risking the potential embarrassment of an own-goal just for the slight chance at saving the team.

The Chelsea defenders especially – and the rest of the team for that matter, have made the fans, Thomas Tuchel and the entire staff extremely proud with their performances tonight.
