Chelsea Football Club made their way into the UEFA Champions League Finals yesterday after a 2:0 victory against Real Madrid at Stanford Bridge. The club has made a remarkable achievement by having both male and female teams feature in the finals of The UEFA Champions League in the same season. The English side qualified with a 3:1 win on aggregate after securing a draw at Madrid.
Thomas Tuchel’s side were vastly superior to the most succesful side in Champions League history and went ahead on the night through Timo Werner midway through the first half after Kai Havertz had lifted onto the crossbar.
And so now the Champions League will see a second all-English final in three years, following Liverpool’s win over Tottenham in 2019.
