The 22 players who will start the Champions League final this Saturday are known!
As for the Citizens, the big surprise is the tenure of Raheem Sterling, less titular this season.
At the start, the Englishman drives Bernardo back a notch and pushes Fernandinho and Rodrigo onto the bench.
The rest of the XI aligned by Guardiola is classic with Kevin De Bruyne as captain.
Manchester City lineup (4-3-3): Ederson - Walker, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko - Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva - Mahrez, Sterling, Foden
No surprise concerning the composition concocted by Thomas Tuchel.
N'Golo Kanté is well established in the midfield along with Jorginho.
The attacking trio are made up of Mason Mount, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
Olivier Giroud is therefore a replacement.
Composition Chelsea (3-4-3): Mendy - Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Rudiger - Chilwell, Kanté, Jorginho, James - Mount, Werner, Havertz
