"Champions League final score: Chelsea upset Manchester City on Havertz goal...
It's the second UCL title for the Blues and a major letdown for City
Chelsea won the 2021 UEFA Champions League title on Saturday, beating fellow English club Manchester City in the final, 1-0. The Blues got a goal in the first half from Kai Havertz, and City couldn't respond as superstar Kevin De Bruyne left in the second half due to injury. The Blues controlled the match from the beginning and used their patient, organized defense to hold City's attack at bay for the majority of the match as Pep Guardiola's men rarely looked like a threat going forward.
Guardiola brought on Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, but the tinkering with his starting XI did not work out as his surprise inclusion of Raheem Sterling resulted in very little. Thee Londoners claimed their second ever UCL crown, and their first since 2012.
...Here are three takeaways from Saturday's final in Porto:
Chelsea set the tone early
Everybody knew this game was going to be defensive. Chances were also going to be hard to come by, and I'm not counting the ones that Timo Werner shanks from point-blank range.
