Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea coach):
“It's the most important match in Europe, it's an exceptional final and we won, it's incredible. I'm very proud, but I was proud upstream because I have complete confidence in this group, it's a very, very strong group. We knew we weren't the favorite but we are a very, very strong group, we are all together and anything is possible. We did it twice (beat City) in the Championship, in the Cup, and we did it a third time. (On the match scenario) Usually we wanted more possession, but it was difficult in the first few minutes. After at the end of the first period, it was better, we created some very dangerous counterattacks, but it was a very hard fight (...) It was my second final, I was happy to be in the final thelast year, but this one was different in a way, I felt that upstream. My players were now very determined to win this match, we wanted to be the pebble that could disrupt them, I asked everyone to raise their level of play, to dare things when they had the ball. Kai Havertz was brave, strong and he still responded. "
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City coach):
“It's a magnificent success for them, my players were exceptional despite everything in a good match.
We tried but we will come back.
My players gave everything, they wanted to win this competition from day one.
I am not surprised by the intensity set by Chelsea, but they must have played long balls, were not able to produce their usual game. "
César Azpilicueta (Chelsea captain and defender):
“We wrote history, I'm very happy.
I said it before the match: we have an incredible group, everyone works, it's incredible.
We deserve it, we will celebrate. "
Kai Havertz (striker and sole scorer in the final):
“I don't know what to say, I really don't know.
I have waited a lot (this moment).
I want to thank my family, my parents, my grandmother and my girlfriend.
I waited 15 years to experience this moment and here we are. ”
