Havertz and his henchman Werner send Chelsea to the first UCL final after 2012

Thomas Tuchel will lead his team in the Champions League finals for the second year in a row, while Chelsea will have an opportunity to get a hold of the UCL trophy for the second time in the club's history. And they really deserve to be in Instanbul and face Manchester City.

The Blues dominated the game at Stamford Bridge and defeated Real Madrid 2-0 (3-1 on aggregate) to provide us with the all-English final, for the first time since 2019, when Liverpool and Tottenham were to decide the best in Europe.

Ever since the kick-off, Chelsea seemed like a more determined side, with Rudiger firing early to make a stand. Chelsea's dominance was evident with Timo Werner scoring on a Childwell's pass, but the goal was denied due to an offside. Los Merengues tried to bounce back, but they lacked firepower except for the veteran Karim Benzema.

Recently recovered Eden Hazard was nowhere near the action, let alone engaging himself in any serious offensive plays. On the other end, Tuchel gave the keys of the game to his deadly German duo - Kai Havertz and Timo Werner - and they didn't disappoint him at all.

The pair was responsible for the opener 28 minutes into the game. A truly remarkable Ngolo Kante took the ball at the centre of the field, exchanged passes with Werner, and then astonishingly found Havertz on the left. His chip hit the crossbar, but Werner was left totally unmarked in the six-yard box to nail it for 1-0.

And what about Madrid? Basically, nothing. Benzema had that one smooth strike from the edge of the box, but Mendy's save deserved a standing ovation from his teammates at the bench. The same rivals were back in action again after the break, with the same outcome - Mendy managed to save Benzema's fine header coming from Modric's cross.

Unlike the guests, Tuchel's boys were on fire in the second half. The badly hurt Real's defence - without Varrane, Marcelo and Carvajal - was in shambles, while Mount, Havertz and Werner were slicing it like a knife. If it weren't for the incredible Courtois, who pulled off at least two or three magnificent one-on-one saves, the game would be killed as early as half an hour before the end.

Zidane tried to change the game's tempo with several subs, but it simply wasn't enough to create any problems to that 'bulletproof' defence at Stamford Bridge. Their counterpats were struggling throughout the entire match, and it was no chance it would stay 1-0 until the final whistle. Kante was there to shine once again, tackling with lots of style. He gave Pulisic a formidable pass for another lovely chance, only this time Mount showed no mercy and placed the ball from Pulisic's cross straight into the back of the net for 2-0 victory.
