The Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel who was seeking his first Champions League success has finally landed it.
Last season, the German took Paris St-Germain to the final, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich but on Saturday in Porto the German tactician, masterminded Chelsea to their second Champions League trophy.

Chelsea wins second Champions LeagueÂ
Chelsea have won the UEFA Champions League after a tight 1-0 victory over Manchester City in Porto.
Thomas Tuchel’s side had much the better of the first half. Timo Werner missed a good chance to put them in front, before a superb pass from Mason Mount released Kai Havertz to round Ederson and tap the ball home just before half-time.
In a tense second half City made a number of changes to try and alter the pattern of play but failed to create a chance of note. Christian Pulisic missed a chance to double Chelsea’s lead with 17 minutes left but shot wide when clean through on goal.
The victory is Chelsea’s second in the competition after their victory over Bayern Munich on penalties in 2012, and their sixth major European trophy overall.
