English giants, Manchester City and Chelsea meet in an all English Champions League Final tonight.
Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel will face off for the ultimate prize in European club football as the Premier League rivals battle it out in Porto for the European Cup. Man City are looking to complete a treble after already lifting the Premier League and Carabao Cup this season, while Chelsea could end a dramatic campaign on a high. This is the one trophy which has eluded Guardiola so far at City, and winning it would further cement his credentials as the best coach in the business. As for Tuchel, he knows the pain of losing this match after seeing Bayern Munich beat his PSG side last season - and he will be desperate to avoid a similar fate here.
Massively anticipated all-English UEFA Champions League final between Manchester City and Chelsea from Porto will begin at 3 p.m., ET. In Porto, the kickoff time is 8 p.m. For the fans of the clubs based in the United Kingdom, the match begins as the same time as it does in Porto at 8 p.m and 1 am (Sunday) in Bangladesh. While all UCL matches are usually played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the final is reserved for the Saturday following the conclusion of the domestic leagues. Both Chelsea and Man City were in action last weekend, with the Blues losing to Aston Villa, while still qualifying for next season's Champions League. City celebrated their league title with a 5-0 win over Everton at the Etihad. The match will be played at the Estádio do Dragão in Portugal, home of FC Porto, after it had to be moved out of Istanbul, Turkey, due to the United Kingdom's travel restrictions brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
