Press reviews from England: Tuchel completes "his Renaissance masterpiece"

Guardian

: “When Thomas Tuchel got the job at the end of January to revive Chelsea, he wanted to lead them back into the Champions League via a top four place. The idea that he might actually only win the thing for the second time in the club's history was ridiculous. No more. On a night of glory for him and his team, the manager put the final brushstrokes on his Renaissance masterpiece, maneuvered his friend and rival Pep Guardiola and watched Kai Havertz score the decisive goal just before the break. Chelsea defended like hell, (...) but this was a perfectly balanced triumph based on a structured approach to attack, picking the right moments to switch and being illuminated by the smoothness of Havertz's technique. "

Times

: “Recklessness is rewarded: Roman Abramovich's policy of back and forth works again for Chelsea. (...) Now that he (Tuchel) has even met Abramowitsch, he can look forward to such pleasures as a transfer window and perhaps a slightly longer contract. But he's clever enough (...) to know that he should just enjoy the here and now as long as he can. ”

The Sun

: “Thomas Tuchel sends a balanced team onto the field and deserves to win the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, crossed the threshold between genius and madness and decided that a Champions League final is the right moment for one of his Mad Professor experiments.
