  2. Pressures of a Champions League finalpublished at 18:08 British Summer Time 29 May 2021

    Man City v Chelsea (20:00 BST)

    BBC World Service

    Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou: “When Roman Abramovich took over, the first goal was to win the Champions League. Every meeting, that’s what he would repeat: ‘I want the Champions League’. He was never quiet about the fact that it was his goal, so as a player you have the pressure. You know that’s what the boss wants.

    “There was lot of pressure, but it was good pressure because you want to write your name among the top and the only way to do it is to win those kind of competitions.

    “Going to Munich there was a lot of pressure, but we had a team that played a lot together for so many years so we knew each other so well. So it was a positive pressure.”

    Dan Brooker: My Dad is a City Fan. His blood is sky blue. We watched City rise from the bottom to the top. But I am a Chelsea fan. My blood is Royal Blue. We have seen it all, lived it all and tonight is the final chapter in our journey. Either way we will shake hands and smile.

    A statue for Sergio Aguero for sure, he is a legend and probably City's best ever player.

    I can't believe we are getting rid of him, I am not questioning Pep Guardiola but maybe it is just a year early?

    Not sure what Phil (17:48) is talking about re City's over confidence & arrogance. I think both managers and fans have been showing each other respect.

    The fans are now starting to come into Porto's Estadio do Dragao and despite the restricted numbers there is a real Champions League Final buzz in and around the stadium.

    Lots of protocols to follow, including Covid testing, but the formalities will soon be over and it will be down to business for Manchester City and Chelsea.

    Conditions here in Porto could not be better, with glorious sunshine and warm temperatures ready to greet the teams on their arrival at the stadium.

  11. Will we see Aguero?published at 17:56 British Summer Time 29 May 2021

    Man City v Chelsea (20:00 BST)

    It was an emotional farewell to Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero on the final day of the Premier League season.

    He's "close to joining Barcelona", says boss Pep Guardiola so will he feature today for the final time?

    The striker has scored 260 goals in 389 games for the club and he has been at City for 10 years.

    Of those goals, 13 have been against Chelsea, although he has not scored in any of his past four appearances against them since a hat-trick in February 2019.

  13. Guardiola v Tuchelpublished at 17:51 British Summer Time 29 May 2021

    Man City v Chelsea (20:00 BST)

    It's no secret Pep Guardiola was brought to Manchester City to win the Champions League.

    He won it twice as Barcelona boss, with Lionel Messi's help, but so far he's not been able to crack it with City.

    If he leads them to the title today it will be 10 years since his last success with Barcelona in 2011.

    In contrast, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is seeking his first Champions League trophy.

    The German took Paris St-Germain to the final last season but lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich. Better luck this time?

  17. An all-English finalpublished at 17:43 British Summer Time 29 May 2021

    Man City v Chelsea (20:00 BST)

    This is the third all-English final - and second in three seasons - in the Champions League.

    In 2008, Chelsea lost 6-5 on penalties to Manchester United in Moscow after the match had finished 1-1 after 120 minutes.

    Eleven years later, Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid in the last final to be played in front of a capacity crowd.

    If City beat Chelsea, they will become the sixth different English club to be crowned champions of Europe after Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Aston Villa.

    The last English team to win their first final was Aston Villa in 1982 against Bayern Munich.
