		</div><p>Chelsea turned a season of turmoil into the ultimate triumph as Kai Havertz’s ice-cool finish sunk Manchester City 1-0 to swipe Champions League glory in Porto.</p>
<p>Mason Mount’s inch-perfect assist stunned domestic double-winners City at the Estadio do Dragao, as Chelsea claimed their second Champions League title to etch boss Thomas Tuchel’s name into the Stamford Bridge annals.</p>
<p>Kevin De Bruyne suffered a facial injury on a wretched night for the stellar Belgium star, who will be an immediate injury doubt for the European Championships.</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola fielded a surprise pivotless midfield in a bid to catch out Tuchel and the Blues, but the move backfired and City paid the toughest price.</p>
<p>When Chelsea paid Bayer Leverkusen £70 million for Havertz last summer eyebrows were raised in some quarters, but Chelsea were convinced of the 21-year-old’s pure talent.</p>
<p><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/E2lYDh9XMAIRbjp-scaled.jpg" alt="Champions League; Chelsea; Football" width="2048" height="2560" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-168439" /></p>
<p>And now the classy forward has ended a testing campaign that included a battle with Covid-19 with a goal of the utmost quality – on the highest stage and at the perfect time.</p>
<p>In just 124 days Tuchel has transformed Frank Lampard’s muddled men into mean tactical machines – and champions of Europe.</p>
<p>Guardiola has spent five years honing City for European dominance, but that frustrating wait goes on.</p>
<p>The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss last won the Champions League in 2011, the year before Chelsea’s first European triumph.</p>
<p>Guardiola will keep grinding, but Tuchel has quickly built up something of an Indian sign over City’s Catalan coach.</p>
<p>Chelsea’s third win over City in six weeks clearly ranks most highly, but also cements Tuchel’s arrival as a genuine tactical master.</p>
<p>The 47-year-old arrived from Paris St Germain in January with a fiery reputation, but has reinvented himself as a taskmaster with a joyful spirit and a tendency to tease the best from his players.</p>
