We are just a few days away from the kick-off of one of the most important club football events in the world with the Champions League Final featuring two top English sides ready to do play things out at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon. The match had been previously arranged for Turkey, but with no fans present in Turkey and two English clubs both contesting the final, UEFA were able to move the contest to Portugal to better accomodate the preceedings.

Both teams have so much to play for and with this being the last club football match-up on the calendar, it will set the tone throughout the rest of the summer.
Manchester City have never been able to win the Champions League since their acquisition by the Abu Dhabi-based ownership group. They have been knocking on the door so many times but failed to get the job done each time.
They come into their contest as the English Premier League champions once again, not run-away Champions, but Champions nonetheless. Chelsea come into the contest potentially not even qualified for the Champions League the following season if results don’t go their way in their final two fixtures of the season. Chelsea are still a mathematical favourite to finish in the top four but dropped points against Leicester this coming weekend make that a very challenging possibility.
City come into the match as the distinct favourites but it’s notable that they do not trade at an odds-on price to win the Champions League. They are a best price of around 21/20 while Chelsea can be backed at a best price of around 5/2 with several top bookmakers.
In regards to the outright result, which means a victory by any method such as extra-time or penalties, you’ll find City priced at a 1/2 listing while Chelsea can be backed around a 13/8 margin. You reckon that there is every chance that Tuchel can put together a tactical masterclass to outdo Pep Guardiola. It might take some luck along the way, but Chelsea might just be due that luck.
