Fans before the Champions League final in Porto, in pictures
The Champions League crowns its new champion tonight in the grand final in Porto between Manchester City and Chelsea (starting at 9:00 pm). An English final for the second time in three years after 2019's Liverpool-Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano. The two teams, led by huge fortunes such as the Abu Dhabi monarchy and Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, seek to endorse the great investment they have made to reach this moment. After winning the Premier with ease, City are pursuing European glory for the first time in their history at the hands of Guardiola, who returns to a Champions League final 10 years later, the first since leaving Barcelona.
His rival, Thomas Tuchel, does have more recent experience since he played last season's final with PSG.
Now at Chelsea, the German wants to get rid of that thorn and win his first Champions League, the second for club

In both duels in which City has been measured this season, the victory has been for Chelsea.
