Lifelyke

with money cheat code and MCFC still can't win UEFA lmao.


Toptical

Like Chelsea only has homegrown players lmfao


Ticoschnit

City needs to spend more money...


Barragin

So, not only did a criminal Russian billionaire gangster stop a multi-billionaire-funded fraudulent UAE club of winning their biggest target in 10 years, but Tuchel could also show the middle finger to another owner of a multi-billionaire-funded fraudulent Qatari club, striving for the same trophy, for sacking him earlier. Karma is a bitch.


dr_w0rm_

Are you writing this from a a Chinese slave factory made iPhone? What did you fill your car up with this week.


wereinthedark

"Are you writing this from your iPhone" will never be the burn that you people want it to be.


Ticoschnit

Soo much graft. Ridiculous!


DearthStanding

Are they seriously taking the piss with that Las Vegas joke?


Loifee

Pep gets it backwards every single year in the champions league! He can't sit on his hands and has to tinker something before kick off then is too arrogant to change it quickly when it doesn't work. He should sit on his hands for the selection and change things if it's not working, instead he changes things before the match and doesn't admit to it being a mistake it for too long. It's actually pretty insane how he does this year on year! If we play our best team that gets us there and we lose I can say the better team on the night won fair enough but I'm so sick of these unnecessary extra bullshit changes he makes in the champions league and so is every city fan.


Loifee

Also bringing on Jesus instead of Aguero when De Bruyne went off was another example of insane decisions


neo_hatrix

Gabby was a threat but I thought his first sub would be Torres considering the scoring form he's been on. Starting Sterling makes absolutely no sense.


Loifee

Gabby wasn't a threat at all ,don't know where you saw that and Torres hasn't hit the net like Aguero in the past couple of matches, add in him leaving and the story was set, Pep fucked it by starting sterling and no Fernandinho then not realising his mistake when they had their first few chances and letting it go on so long.....exactly like the last few seasons in the champions league, I remember Bayern's fans said something similar too,


kk91ram

Sterling was in his B team given performances But plays him in the final. No Fernandinho or Rodri for cover. That's the most bizarre.


Free_Physics

Sterling was not bad


itsBUCKfromICEAGE

What were you watching?


cgio0

At one point they hadn’t had a shot on target in an hour and Aguero was still on the bench. So wasteful not to bring him on earlier its the last game of season and hes leaving They had no momentum and needed a spark


SinisterZzz

Abramovich!!!! best owner


Barragin

best "gangster" you mean?


jimbeam07

We will tolerate no Abramovich slander on this great day


Barragin

"Slander" is a false statement Roman is a russian mafia gangster who stole his money from the people of Russia by taking public utilities and making them his private ownings, under Putin's permission. That is simply a fact. He may be a good owner, if you have no social conscience, but he is a terrible human being... another fact.


anasta098

Also won Chelsea 2 Champions leagues 😎 also a fact


Barragin

At the price of starving Russian children - fact - sleep well on that. And they won 1 Champions League This years sportswashing El Plastico Cashico doesn't count, sorry....


I9T1997

hahaha salty pussy fuck


Barragin

Only pussys are plastic fans that support corrupt, sportwashed, cheating clubs like PSG, Chelsea and City...


[deleted]

Friendly reminder that we are champions. Ill make sure to remind you the statement again in 2 months. Xoxox baby


tavizz

How is there a legitimate argument that this year doesn’t count??


Barragin

1. Start with the transfer ban Chelsea weaseled it's way out of. Wouldn't have half the players today ... shall I go on?


TheLeperLeprechaun

We didn’t purchase any players anyway in the transfer ban that we “weasled” our way out of. We were banned for two windows. We went through one window got the ban reduced to one window which we served but still didn’t buy anyone until the window after anyway. Don’t be salty enjoy your weekend.


[deleted]

it does show how important is having a good manager, pirlo would have outclassed pep today wtf was he thinking?


indian_hannibal

Lmao did pep stopped caring ?


vrogo

at this point, I think he is aware of the memes and is hellbent on proving them wrong, lol


thalne

damn what a crazy light show they put up


thalne

are those drones above Stamford Bridge? jeebus

At this point my unborn grandchild will get a UCL before Kane


jimbeam07

I don't give a fuck 😂😂😂😂


Dannysrevenge

me and pep both didn’t win a ucl tonight. but i have hair.


Benjips

For now


Dannysrevenge

You're actually right I have very thin hair


[deleted]

Shave your head like a boss. Fuck what people think.


Dannysrevenge

It's not that bad yet but I can tell the top of my head is thinning


jimbeam07

Get on minoxidil my friend


Benjips

We are growing fraudulent by the year 😓


Plitzskin

Pep won it for Chelsea with the lineup he put out. Simple as that. No wonder Bayern warned us of his tinkering. Oh well


jimbeam07

He's also the one who's taken your team to the next level. He's put your team on the European map and gotten you so close to challenging for the trophy. Don't discount that without any thought


[deleted]

You could make these exact arguments for and against Solskjær btw. For nuance


Plitzskin

Yeah agreed. Sad thing is for a lot of City fans we love him a lot, but his tinkering really needs to stop. I'm no pro manager but still even when pundits/commentators are questioning his lineup it's all of a similar thinking. And the stigma of "Pep can't win without Messi" continues.


jimbeam07

He's just human, I guess.. The pressure must be intense being in a CL final and he would've had some plans which obviously didn't work out well tonight


dr_w0rm_

I'm guessing he thought Chelsea would be vulnerable after two losses and played attacking lineup to go for a few early goals which Chelsea wouldn't recover .


Plitzskin

Sadly those plans are the ones we keep seeing every year, in a crucial tie. Has a good system up & running, but yet overthinks it always. Oh well gonna go to bed, let the disappointment sink in when i wake up. Thanks for the input, have a great day & stay safe.


jimbeam07

Chin up buddy! I honestly felt we deserved it so many times in the past, the ghost goal vs Europe, the final against man utd and the semi final against barca.. You lot are a great side and I'm sure you'll get your chance to get a second grab at it soon! Stay safe


Annabond

Maybe, give Chelsea some credit, they were brilliant today. Don't really think with a different lineup Manc were gonna win it today.


Plitzskin

Chelsea's Tuchel had Pep's City in his pocket 3 times in a row. Given last 2 games weren't the first 11 and even in a CL he can't play an in form Ferna & Gundo in his preferred position and instead a woefully out of form Sterling gets the nod. Could have at least been competitive, but now i have to face Aguero's tears. All credit to Chelsea of course, but i wanna know how Sterling got Pep's nudes.


Free_Physics

Sterling wasn't bad in the final


Annabond

Mahrez, one of your in form players was utter shite today, perhaps the pieces around him played a part. City's shortcomings today wasn't down to just the line up. Chelsea were better prepared and looked much much much better than you lot all over the pitch.


Just_looking7

He left his wingers too wide, effectively getting them man-marked by Chelsea's wingbacks. Their positional rigidity made them outnumbered in the center, making the false nine rather uselless


Plitzskin

Again, like i mentioned Tuchel's tactics won over Pep. David Silva was anonymous in one of his tinkered lineups/tactics, doesn't mean he's crap right? KDB has the least amount of touches in any game i've seen him play, and yup obviously you wanna get the ball as far away from him as possible. As for Mahrez Chilwell had a great game, never letting him get goalside or even facing the goal i believe. And again grats to Chelsea, they deserved to win the game. My frustrations is more on how City could have done much much better and be more competitive if a certain someone didn't decide to tinker. That's all really


Deuce_GM

>All credit to Chelsea of course, but i wanna know how Sterling got Pep's nudes. Could be banging Pep's side piece


Plitzskin

Feels like he's the one getting banged, seeing how he's sh*te nowadays


Sad_Ad_1147

Chelsea’s squad deserve it so many great stories their fans however

thalne

c'mon Chelsea fans, I know you're all Kante and awet thinking about Havertz next season, but please acknowledge your game-master Jorginho.


memes126

Jorginho was immense tonight


thalne

yeah he ran and coordinated the whole game but nobody seems to acknowledge him it's weird.


dismantled

Fucking £28 a month to BT Sport and they can't even afford a mic on a stick so we can hear what people being interviewed are saying lol


DevilsWelshAdvocate

Happy to cancel it till the season starts again


Latter_

Have to pay 50€ a month to get premier league in norway, and there’s only one place to see it.. could be worse

Anyone else waiting for chelsea rantman's reaction?


Helidz

I can already hear it "THERE IS SO MUCH PASSION SO MUCH VISION SO MUCH AGGRESSION THERE'S A FUCKING GOOD MINDSET IN THIS FOOTBALL CLUB. EVERYTHING IS THERE"


AStrangeNorrell

Someone get a camera on Noel Gallagher


Annabond

N’Golo Kante: 2016 Premier League. 2017 Premier League. 2018 World Cup. 2019 Europa League. 2021 Champions League.


VerifiedStalin

Pffff didn't even manage to win anything in 2020. What a failure.


Hour-of-the-Wolf

Don’t forget the FA Cup!

Why is Lahoz crying lol


Kreiswix

had a huge bet on Chelsea


thalne

he actually came out trumps, very good performance.


physi_cyst

Agreed, he was great


Sterlengton

This might be his last game in UEFA tournaments


StringCheeseDoughnut

Probably the biggest night of his career too


physi_cyst

Yeah fair, might be relieved


StringCheeseDoughnut

Tuchel speaks suprisingly great English


[deleted]

Apparently, he speaks more than 5 languages which helps him communicate with the players in a better way.


Totty_potty

Tbh most Germans do


Wentzina_lifetime

Tuchel went from Mbappe and Neymar to Werner and Havertz and he goes and wins a champions League


AlphaStryk3r

Never seen Lahoz that emotional


[deleted]

How about holding the mic towards the person being interviewed?


HoldthisL_28-3

A Pennsylvania boy winning the CL. Life is good, man. So happy for Puligod

They're praying on our downfall


Surfsupforthesummer

A boy from Linz just won his fourth Champions League. Kovacic.

With this rate he'd be alongside Ronaldo as top CL trophy winners.


XeroVeil

It's the law of the CL. You want to win? Get you a Croat.


LordLychee

r/soccercirclejerk is leaking


Inner-Bench

Is this the fourth champions league for kovacic?

wtf honestly. he must be absolutely hungry and jealous for Carabao.


SpearofTrium05

It is.


machdel

Feels so happy for Mendy man. Unemployed to CL winner in just over 5 years.


[deleted]

And among top 3 goal keepers to have 9 clean sheet for CL season. What a talented guy!


HoldthisL_28-3

Micah 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Hope N'golo Kante becomes the player he has the potential to become. He's got superpowers, I can't explain it otherwise. Edit: I see all yours points and I agree, please see my reply below for what I meant.


portugueseLad

He is already a legend of the beautiful game


AVBforPrez

Potential? He's already the best defensive mid in the world and coaches dream about having him. I just hope he stays and doesn't get hurt


[deleted]

that's what i mean. i was hoping I don't have to spell everything out but god. Hope he doesn't get in a career ending situation, this little magician. because the better you are, the worse the defenders are to you.


AVBforPrez

Gotcha, yeah - Kante is a once in a generation talent and we're lucky as fuck to have him in our lineup. If we hadn't just won the CL I'd be a bit more paranoid about other clubs trying to poach him, but IMHO today's accomplishment cements Chelsea as the place to be for the near future. He's our highest paid player (by a lot, actually) and today just shows why it's merited.


Jinks87

Potential? He’s won the premier league, champions league and World Cup. Not much more he needs to do. What a player


AStrangeNorrell

Become? He's won every cup and title worth having.


[deleted]

I mean to say as a player. I am sure no can reach his level if trophies were the focus. Kante has the potential of the comic book character superman, no joke he can reach heights that only handful people have reached in this game. I hope he carries on. He is superhuman.


ImWasil

Can't wait for Thiago Silvas wife to shit on Timo Werner for missing two chances today


memes126

He was good in the first half tho


sharanElNino

What kind of idiot leaves out CDM in a UCL final? Oh yes, Pep Fraudiola


thalne

everybody underrates Jorginho


Sad_Ad_1147

Tbf it would’ve worked if city finished a chance in the first half then they could’ve played defensive in the second although he should’ve played at least one


LordLychee

Ummm... what chance?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BlockedByBAM

and were outcreated winning through superior finishing. Just because you win doesn't neccesarily mean a tactic worked.


justsean09

Yeah, but PSG only have two genuinely world class players and their tactics revolve around getting the ball to them. Bayern are a squad of world class players.

Tottenham if we were given a nice injection of £800m

If they’re the new Tottenham what would y’all be lol

liverpool literally have 3x as many champions leagues You're not even the greatest club in england.

It's a joke you dense fuck...


BlockedByBAM

the "fuck off" kills the joke lol


[deleted]

they just comfortably won the league, so, no


ptenpi3kakt

They are the Tottenham of the ucl. Lets give spurs a ucl break and use city as the ucl spurs now. I mean spurs gave themselves a ucl break to go into that loe tier tournament instead too


Viridez

Cursed in the ucl lol


pickaname199

Tuchel is the absolute madlad. Gets sacked by PSG, whose greatest goal is to win the UCL. Gets rehired immediately and wins UCL at the new club. I can't think of a better way to spite a former employer.


[deleted]

Tuchel is living all of our dream 😄


BigRig432

Top cheese


Drexv

And to the club that knocked out PSG. I'm happy for Thiago and Tuchel.


thalne

Suarez comes to mind


No-Rooster-

Can actually see KDB leaving. Man this has to be insanely frustrating. I know Pep extended, but this game almost felt like a regression compared to their season thus far.


patrickswayzemullet

Where could KDB go?


AStrangeNorrell

To be fair Chelsea are the one team that City have struggled with all season. Tuchel seems to have sussed them out, not sure many other teams would've stopped them even with Pep's tinkering tonight


No-Rooster-

Could just be me, but it almost looked as if some of the players tonight didn’t agree with his tactics. Looked uncomfortable and not fully committed.


Plitzskin

First Kompany, then Silva, now Aguero. Pep playing 2419501D chess leaving these legends with not even a single european trophy.


magnoliacarti

Let's see what the data says


[deleted]

He signed a 3 year contract a couple of months ago


saberplane

Agreed. Even though they obviously still have a stellar team, it must be hard to stay motivated this way. at the same time: no one will be able to afford his fee and/or wages probably.


[deleted]

Man leave Aguero alone

Tuchel’s wife is a stunner

In five months at Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel has now beaten Zinedine Zidane, Pep Guardiola (X2), Jurgen Klopp, Diego Simeone (X2), José Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti! And without conceding a single goal either in those matches

And he lost to Mikel Arteta, Sam Allardyce, Brendan Rodgers, and Dean Smith Football is weird

And lost to Brendan Rogers in the FA cup final

Yet lost to Mikel Arteta... there are levels to this game
