Man City v Chelsea - The Champions League Final...

[BlackShark_80]

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Rodri
KDB Gundogan
Mahrez Bernardo Foden

Mendy
James Silva Rudiger
Azpi Kante Kovacic Chilwell
Pulisic Werner Mount​

city/Chelsea fans, this look about right or am I way off?

Think Zinchenko might start over Cancelo, KDB as a false 9 over Bernardo. As for Chelsea, James probably RWB and Havertz start over Pulisic.

City:
Ederson
Walker - Stones - Dias - Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Bernardo - Gundogan
Mahrez - De Bruyne - Foden

Chelsea:
Mendy
Azpilicueta - Silva - Rudiger
James - Kante - Kovacic - Chilwell
Mount - Werner
Havertz​

Not for Liverpool and Utd fans though. Just gonna avoid this and check the score afterwards in the hope that Chelsea has won it. Or get so wasted in the afternoon that I forget the match is on in the evening.

Almost literally how I felt in 2019. I went from not wanting Liverpool to win single corner in any game ever to being forced to wish for them to win the fecking Champions League final.

I hope we give you the same lesser of two evils outcome you gave me that day.

So I'm all for City, they've put in so much hard work, even more so than Chelsea. About half a bilion more of someone elses extra hard work has gone in to get them this far. Surely they deserve on that basis alone.

Zinchenko will certainly start instead of Cancelo and I'm not sure about Pulisic, but I think that you got it right.

Certainly but it would still give you a good idea of what to expect next season.

 

[Bulldog United]

If this was us or Liverpool in the final, you wouldn't escape the build up for well over a week.

But with these two non-entities playing each other, nobody cares.

I can't wait for this game.... to be forgotten about.

I reckon this could easily have the lowest viewing figures for any Champions League era final.

 

[OleBoiii]

Go Chelsea I guess...

*pukes*

 

[Handsome Devil]

Alas it will probably be City. Dancing in the streets of Abu Dhabi tonight.

 

[Judas]

The hype is noticeably subdued I think for two english teams going at it.

 

[Shane88]

We lose a Europa League final and City win their first Champions League and complete a treble a few days later.

I don't think it gets any worse than this.

 

[adexkola]

Is Kante fully fit?

 

[Hugh Jass]

Like asking who you want to have sex with your wife? Bob or Tom.

Not even going watching it.

 

[DoomSlayer]

City winning their 1st CL or Chelsea winning their 2nd. I think I might stay off football and off Manchester United for the next 2-3 months, can't be bothered with the Euros either.

 

[bond19821982]

No one cares about City. So I hope they win it.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Is it? Look who they are owned by.

By rich people who actually invest money into their clubs and show at least some sort of care about the social benefits that it all brings? Maybe we should be looking at who is owning our club instead of being jealous of the others.

 

[Pow]

Is Kante fully fit?

Yeah

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

I hate if City win it, but I think they will. I just do not see Chelsea scoring enough goals. Also if it goes to pens I think City will win it for sure.

How's it bad for Liverpool fans ? What's your rivalry with City or Chelsea ?

You think the owners care about Manchester?

 

[DoomSlayer]

You think the owners care about Manchester?

They care enough to invest billions of their own money. It's night and day compared to the Glazers.

Im not saying the Glazers are great but you cant compare willingness to spend personal wealth when one side is a literal country.

 

[duffer]

Is Kante fully fit?

He only rejoined training on Wednesday so although he's not injured, he's not going to be "fully fit" after 10 days out.

It's Kante though so him at 95% fitness is still fitter than most.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Of course I can. We could be matching and even outspending City if it wasn't for the Glazers. And if we had owners, who cared about football, the directors and the decision-makers in the club would be much better suited for the job, so we wouldn't have to also waste most of the money, like we have done so far.

But instead, the man from JP Morgan, who helped the leeches get their dirty hands on us, was given the reigns and free power, whilst having no idea about football or how a club of this stature should be ran. It's kind of pathetic how instead of pushing the owners out, our fanbase spent years bashing Abramovich or Mansour, just because these people are showing more involvement and better care for their football club.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Not gonna watch. Lose lose all the way around. I guess Chelsea winning is better though not by much.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Guess I want Chelsea to win, but don't really care much about it frankly. Will probably be asleep before finish.

Thankfully, proper football is right around the corner.

 

[Raees]

I don’t really want Chelsea to be just 1 UCL behind us...

[SATA]

City win please and everyone’s flavour of the month Tuchel ends up empty handed

 

[tomaldinho1]

Does Lamps get a medal, either gold or silver?

Terry will be on the podium so he might get one for Lampard.

 

[Heinzesight]

It’s not exactly a glamour final is it? Just one relatively big-ish club versus a medium sized club.

At least Chelsea have decent fan base unlike the shit moustachioed, Kangol wearing, egg stained Berts from round the corner who have the skill to make any celebrations look cringeworthy and tacky as feck.

 

[izec]

City are better, but Chelsea will win

 

[Chesterlestreet]

I honestly don't care too much either way.

But, yeah, obviously - has to be Chelsea all things said and done .

 

[padr81]

Tough one to call. I think that if City don't blow Chelsea away first half Chelsea will win.

I'd say it'll finish either 3-0 or 3-1 to City from a 2-0 halt time lead. If the game is close I fancy Chelsea by the odd goal or on pens.

Interesting take as it was Chelsea who couldn't sell 5800 tickets and had to send nearly 1k back

 

[Crustanoid]

El Plastico

The most plastic match of all time?

 

[Noot]

Can see Pep shooting himself in the foot by trying something overly complicated tactics-wise after City's two recent defeats to Chelsea.

Don't see why people keep bringing those up, as the expected starting XI tomorrow will feature just three players who started the FA Cup defeat and just two who started the loss in the league. If City revert to the formation and lineup they used in the Dortmund and PSG ties, I can't see this game having any resemblance to those last Chelsea defeats.

The last time Chelsea faced anything close to City's actual team, they were pulled apart at Stamford Bridge and lost 3-1.

city/Chelsea fans, this look about right or am I way off?

Most likely it'll be Zinchenko and Fernandinho over Rodri and Cancelo. At least I really hope so. Joao starting would likely be a disaster.

 

[Heinzesight]

Yeah but each City fan has bought a ticket for their inflatable banana so the sales stats are skewed imo.

 

[Gonçalo Motta]

Gotta a feeling that City will win it but I have a bet on Chelsea. Tomorrow I'm a Chelsea fan

 

[Bullhitter]

Lot of mental midgets about who apparently don't care but feel the need to voice the fact that they don't care which heavily implies they actually do care but feel the need to apply some self preservation to the scenario
