From the round of 16 Kante received 4 man of the match awards. Including 3 in a row, both semi final legs and the final. What a player😳
His a monster
Big player, always turns up
@@Sana_H always,always,to me he is the most valuable if not best player in world football to every team
And thats coming from a CDM, the least glamourous position. It shows how crazy good Kante is to get those rewards in that role.
He has won every trophy except ballon d or
Pep went with the most attacking lineup he could today and Chelsea still kept a clean sheet. So much respect to Tuchel and the Chelsea boys,
Rudiget took out De Bruyne. That was dirty play, man.
@@lapprentice shut up, that was not on purpose
@@lapprentice It was a simple yellow card, nothing more, nothing malicious. Man City are the absolute kings of professional fouls.
city had no target man
The whole plan was a miscalculation from Pep. He thought that dropping holding midfielder and thus having more attacking players would create tsunami, but instead it has all backfired. Do to the lack of intercepting and passing capabilities in the mid-field the attack itself chocked and got reduced to primitive efforts. There has been nothing inceisive and dangerous created. Could you recall anything in the case if I missed it?. there was Nothing... City just started to cross the ball into the box in an almost random fashion as they have not been able to create much.
Imagine kante driving around with that trophy in his mini

LOL
hahahaha

Beautiful 😁😁

I honestly don't think it was any master class......Pep just wasn't good......his decisions and "tactics" show it
Like Special One - Mourinho (Not so special anymore) , I think Guardiola's best before date is nearing lol. If you keep using the same tactic all the time, even a stupid mind will learn and counter it soonest.
@@morethanjusttalksbecoming2422 if you look back the one time he was able to win champions league was with Messi and Co. and since then, even after inheriting the best team in the world with Bayern and spending the most of any manager everywhere including City, he STILL hasn't been able to win it. Can we make a case for it being down to Messi and company and not really him being as great as people think?

People need to realize that for all the talk that the 2 times we beat City didn’t count, those results made Pep feel he had to do something different.
That's true . he think a lot about it
That really was an awful argument these pundits put across leading to this game. City played to win in those games and as you rightly said every win made city more uneasy
They need excuses for Pep. He changed the system because Tuchel has his number. The end.
I wonder if all those City fans that said that Pep didn’t play his ‘A’ team in the first two games that Chelsea won are saying it now? You can only beat what’s put in front of you.
When KDB got injured, I expected Fernandinho to come in, immediately I saw jesus gabriel; I was so happy, Chelsea has gone into Gardiola's head. He couldn't unmake the change, then brought in the right man but still needed Aguero, who came in as well. One team Gardiola hated facing has been Chelsea sincr his time at Barcelona.
me too pep just blows his head open i guess by overthinking way too much for me i knew what gong to happen since the lineup and i was convinced in the first 20 mins for what was to come.
That's true. A bogey side for him. Ended his Barca term in 2012.
@@DuderinoDeux He had to take 1 year sabatical leave after that. He never believed or expected it. He had Xavi, Iniesta and Messi- Chelsea blown them away with 10 men for over 1 hour!
Fernandinho is a midfielder. KDB played CF. That is Jesus position. It made sense. But no, sorry, of course you know better than Pep Guardiola lol
He already Got Mental when against Chelsea 😂
How Man City went from being dubbed “best team in the world” to “top 5 in the world” is beyond me... these journalists switch up in a blink of an eye
😀😀😀😀😀
They underestimate Chelsea so much there's the result and never underestimate your opponent you failed at that moment
Well you said it, "it's beyond you". This is the highest level of the game and the slightest change can effect the outcome. The journalists understand this. The best team in the world fluctuates constantly based on tiny details such as form, injuries, team selection, etc. That is the reason why there is so much to discuss when it comes to football
Can't take these guys seriously. Chelsea were the better team and deserved it. On the day, they were better. But, City are still the best team in the world, no doubt.
When pep's team is doing great he is the best and his team is best. While theylost, he still be the best his team will be fifth... Ladies and Gentlemen this is called Law of Bias for Pep Only.....
Hows nobody talking about Rudiger? Very important safe, outstanding since brought back, Chealsea a force defensively
And his most important contribution was intentionally hurting kdb
Ikr
Rudiger probably saved a goal first half. James and Rudiger were both fantastic tonight.
Kante though was definitely the man of the match.
Did amazing by head butting KDB. Excellent sportsmanship. 💩
@@2299mikey 🤷🏽♀️
Why no one is talking about Reece James ?? He was massive today.
Man pocketed the disabled dinosaur
Cause his hairstyle was awful.
It was truly a team win, but Kante, Rudiger, James, and Azpi were the real standouts.
Drugged
City didn’t play well. Had nothing to do with James or Chelsea.

Abra sacks so many managers, that’s bound to happen!

Thats what i said and remember Chelsea play better as underdogs
the fact thet he brought on jesus before aguero showed me that this man was under serious pressure and not thinking like normal
Loll outclassed today
But Jesus saves.
It was an injury substitution to be fair mate. Chelsea is a counter puncher I think. By going offensive , pep played right into our hands. Though, they had several chances. Both sides had chances. That goal we got was a wide open pass. Maybe we should talk about that.
I think Chelsea’s tactics were almost made to absolutely counter City’s tactics. City tried everything but they couldn’t do it.
How about subbing on two cdms after conceding a goal when you didn’t start with any? If you were to poll football fans how Chelsea would play this game they would have said “defend and hit on the break”. Selecting a team with no midfield coverage for the defenders was like asking to lose against this Chelsea team.
But there were other huge problems. Why play Foden centrally? He’s been so effective out wide. Sterling and Bernardo start? They’ve been bit players all season. Both pretty much horribly out of form.
Chelsea played fantastically but City were the worst version of themselves and I think that blame lies mostly with the manager. They have only lined up even remotely close to this once before all year. Why now? So strange.
Reese James had sterling in his pocket all night
Ya kicking him left and right no calls
Not all night. But jemes wins the battle
He had to be taken off the field to get away from Reece 😂

Anytime Chelsea have beaten a team this season, it's always the team's fault and not chelsea's being good and yet we lifted the ultimate 😂.
True but today it’s was a tactical mistake from pep
It’s because how you play is all about stopping the opposition. It’s extremely negative football. Fine when you’re winning, but if you lose it won’t be good. Teams will figure it out. I doubt you’ll get consistent success playing like this but congrats on the win.
The pudiths not giving credit where it's due. Lost 2 games to Chelsea before this one and still has excuses. Love it when they get there predictions wrong 🤣
@@aaron_2327 i hate this chelsea squad. I dont even consider kante a footballer hes an alien with endless stamina
@@aaron_2327 Negative football? By whose definition? The hallmark of a good team is to play to it’s strength. If they can win champions league with it, then it’s can’t be negative football. Football can be offensive and defensive. Each team can choose to play either way. Congratulate and stop hating.
Klinsmann hasn't got a clue. Lampard had to overcome a transfer ban, previous managers had to overcome horrific player purchases and lengthy contracts. Pep has been given a bottomless pit of cash to spend over four years, and FIFA looking the other way to his flouting of the FFP regulations. He/they were outplayed and outcoached. This is a Chelsea win, not a Man City loss.
Tuchel to Rudi: Keep an eye on De Bruyne
Rudi: OK boss
Tuchel: Keep an eye, not break his effing eye

Now THAT is the dying truth.

Pep, the CL serial bottler, had a masterclass where he outsmarted himself.
Most likely he buckled under the pressure and felt he had to do something very special to win this Champion League final.
He for sure did something very special.
I think he shocked everybody with his starting lineup and tactic.
sometimes i feel like to kidnap pep before a final. just a doughnut he is. makes his own downfall , what was he thinking playing a new formation never fully tried and tested in big games. Pep is what i call a brilliant idiot.
Well played to chelsea to park the bus and defend for dear life. Well played to Tuchel.
Pep get your sh*t together.
We come back stronger next year. City fan till i die.
His ego is the problem, he wants people to say that it was his brilliant tactical idea that won the game and not the amazing quality players he has at his disposal.

The entire ESPN is crying. They still belive that Pep made an error. They would never recognize Tuchel.
It's both though. Pep did get his tactics wrong and Tuchel did well to set up his team to outplay City.
DjNaste ain’t that how you win coach makes mistake while the other coach did great, give credit Tuchel
You can't blame the pundits. You always have in the back of your mind 'what could have been' when analysing. Pep chose a system that will always leave people thinking what could have been.
Because pep did make an error. Pep was a fucking cdm himself the fact that he chose not to play rodri or Fernandinho in the biggest game of the year when his system is built around a cdm is inexcusable. Chelsea didn’t do anything special if anything they were pretty average. They did exactly what we all expected. They defended well and Werner missed good chances. Then city gave up a counter attack and lost. Pep not starting a cdm is one of the biggest mistakes a coach has ever made
Fr
How about talking Chelsea's play, it is always been been about City even they lost match. Kudos to Chelsea, especially kante he was everywhere, what a match.
Excuses excuses, Pep is the coach and he chose the best squad from his analysis of Chelsea, he knew Chelsea has been good defensively with Tuchel that's why he went full offensive. All this analysis yall are doing are just excuses, Tuchel outclassed him tactically. And I heard Craig say someone was coming from a muscle injury, Kante was also coming from an injury and he put out a masterclass.
That just means pep is dumb. Because city’s best attacking midfielder is gundo and pep played him at cdm which means he’s not free to go forward and make the runs that he has this year which has made him a serious goal threat.

As a Madrid fan I love Casemiro and I am with him to the death, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous of Chelsea fans who have Ngolo Kante, the easiest guy in sports to root for.
Liverpools Allison is the easiest guy in sports to root for
@@lyndoncmp5751 you're deluded, only Liverpool fans care about Allison. The whole world loves Kante.
Pep has difficulty stoping counter attacks. Any good speedy counter attacking side has a good chance of beating City.
I would consider Guordiola to be among the best coaches in the world when he goes to a normal club having limited resources and wins big with them. He has coached best teams having biggest budgets. It is easier to become a good coach with teams like prime Barcelona, Bayern and City. Waiting him to achieve the same with clubs like say Napoli, Tottenham or even Dortmund.
This Club's don't have the money as City
Pep also said the same thing in an interview that It’s cause the clubs has the players that’s why he is able to do it.
The ESPN staff seems so sad city lost 😞 come on you blues
Chelsea plays a very narrow defensive formation, which forces the opponents to go through the side where they press.
Man City attacks with possession through the middle, they are not really the whip in crosses like team. And they used a false 9 today!
These guys never really make an analysis.
Ps... I oversimplified it.
@Ade ToVAR its a little bit of both
Tac knows what's up, happy for pulisic
Man tactical is everywhere 😂😂😂👍🏼
How you gonna spam crosses but play your best striker? Even if he’s not the tallest any odd bounce then he poaches it
Chelsea play 5 at the back and two DMs. Defensive af. Very hard to break down when done well. And boring af to watch.
I simplified it further.
Sure City could've played better and Pep could've made different decisions, but Chelsea was crazy good defensively and made sure to cover all the spaces where City could potentially get through and score. So massive hats off to Tuchel and the team! It was a very intense final.

The writing was on the wall after the post-semifinal match interview. Pep was delighted to get to the final. For Tuchel, the job was not over.
Frank, everyone can be criticized. His way of playing football is not new. The Dutch teams of the 70s played similar
Agree with Dean. But the Dutch Teams were non - stop attacking and shooting. Today, City was ( in one moment ) 60 minutes without a single shot on goal. How can you win a match this way? It's a football tragedy.
Yes but no one carried it to 3 different leagues he didnt create this he perfected it and carried it to different leagues changing how the leagues teams play
Ofc he can be criticized hes not perfect as much as how we want him to be
@@h2ocobra811 he might have perfected it because he was given an unlimited amount of money but still didn't deliver a UCL title in 10 years.

I use to think not playing a natural DM failed city but that's not the case, they've lost twice already prior to the game with Rodri playing. Tuchel just dealt with him in all manner plus having Ngolo running a solo riot

@@IsraelMartinezM7 well there people like you and then theres THE MAJORITY who actually hates him for no reason and im speaking about them
RDM had a team of serial winners and warriors at his disposal, JT, Drogba, Cech, Cole, Lamps - all legends of this club, Tuchel had a mix of leftovers from the previous managers, academy lads and a whole bunch of new arrivals, none of whom ever won any serious trophies, so, there's a BIG difference between RDM and Tuchel's achievement. Also, with all those legendary players, we've quite clearly parked the bus against Bayern, TT never sits back, this victory feels a lot more special than the first one!
a one-sided comparison...
this Chelsea side, player for player was far stronger than the one in 2012. you mentioned four elite players yes, but they were all past their best, by 2015 they were all finished at the top-level of the game, barring that the 2012 team was a real mixed bag of deadwood and inexperience,
just look at that the backline we started in that final. Cole (who was in his penultimate season as an actual starter for us before being replaced) Luiz (who Mourinho shot out the door in an instant, Cahill and Bosingwa...
we started with Bertrand and Kalou on the wings for christ's sake...
this team, player for player is stronger, you still have Azpilicueta and Kante present, who were key players in two PL titles each, Zouma also contributed heavily in the 2015 title win. Kovacic, who is a serial winner, and quality throughout in Rudiger, Jorginho, etc.
that 2012 win was far more unexpected, and far more momentous for it, though this one is special in its own way too.
As a Chelsea diehard fan I appreciate Frank Leboeuf's also Craig Burley and Jurgen Kilinsmann comments re Pep Gaurdiola, as Pep has given so much to the World Game
Story is: kante is still running around playing extra time then take PKs for both teams being the goalie and the shooter at the same time!
This was Man City’s year to win the champions league and they blew it.

No problem
What we have shown that year Is that we are capable of going past quarter and what I mean is that we belong at the biggest stage
We will now consistently be in the UCl final rounds and in pep we trust ,we will win it eventually
City caused their own defeat by not fielding a defensive midfielder in the starting 11. And it's ridiculously strange Pep didn't trust Sterling in most crucial league games but started him in the most important game of the club's history.🙊🙊😳😳
The genius turned into an @sshole today!
Yeah man, this to me is the biggest tactical bungle job I can recall.
Chelsea are defensively strong and gave excellent attacking movement (if wasteful finishing).
A newbie would simply employ holding mids to try to prevent getting stung on the break. I thought city had learned that lesson.
But it's more than that. Foden central instead of wide, Bernardo and sterling start now? KDB as false 9? Gundogan as a pseudo holding midfielder?
This setup minimized city's strengths and played to Chelsea's. City didn't need genius today, they just needed common sense in the team selextion.
@@telquel7843 apparently the man in charge is Pep, so weird from him
End of the day. City made a defensive error. Chelsea made the most of the error with a brilliant pass and great composure to score. After that city lost a bit of confidence and Chelsea defended brilliantly. Chelsea's counter attacks also had city scared and if our forwards had been a more clinical it could of been 2 or 3. When it's a 90min final with all of the pressure it can come down to the smallest detail. City never really seemed to have belief after the goal and especially after De Bruyne went off. Chelsea winning the champions league was a gigantic achievement. If it wasn't City would of won it by now. COYB🔵🔵
Why Fhy Chelsea played great, but city haven’t lined up like that all season. It’s just super weird. They all looked poor today because almost nobody was playing the role they usually do nor in the system they usually do.
Chelsea may well have won anyway but it was disappointing to see Pep select such a random formation and team for such an important match. I wanted to see an epic clash, not one disciplined and energetic side just run over a confused and frustrated bag of talent.
Next season he will play without a goalkeeper and you all will say that this was a genius move that will get better over a few seasons.

Thanks team Chelsea for keeping Abrahamovich happy, he deserves to be a happy man considering that he can't even come to England to run his club.
Why can’t he come to England?
@@dionwebber708 visa issues
Chelsea fan here, let's not spend too much time crying for a billionaire. I think he'll be ok regardless of his visa issues.
@@vogarner nobody's crying, but he's the sole reason we are where we are today. He's not like the Glazers, Kroenke or Levy and Co. This man deserves respect.
At no point in this game did I think city would score
at the end they had a few chances but yeah other than that chelsea were solid
They had some decent chances once pep finally subbed on Fernandinho and gundo was able to get forward.
Which is why they’ll buy Halaand this summer
@@buridah328 City might have lost some of their shine today when it comes to Haaland.
@@OzyMandias13 money shines bright no matter the weather.
These pundits just don't know how to dismiss a coach who never won a CL for the last 10 years.
Attack wins you games defense wins you championship hence proved yet again🤩💯COYB
I'm still trying to figure out who played better city's "team B" or team A. Haters kept saying it's only their second team when we beat them twice. Their starting 11 could not get a shot on goal in 45mins after just needing one goal to tie. 🤦🏾
Reece James proving in big stages why he is Southgate's number one choice as a RB .
With all that money, they are "on the right path" LOL
The best manger in the world got beaten by the same team 3 times in the same season 😃😃😃😃kmt
Twice actually ZZ

Chelsea never win on ESPN, the other team is always the one that made mistakes. Kind of biased if you ask me, Chelsea won within 90mins and instead of congratulating us, they say Guardiola put up the wrong team😪
It's always the same on this channel. It is never credit to Chelsea. It's always because the other team did something bad.
Hoping for a 4 horse title race in the Prem next season. Can't wait.
Embarrassing for city, they need another £600m net. Can't even buy a CL 😂😂😂
City and psg will never win the champions league. They just buy mercenaries not actual players who gives their heart for the club.
Whys everyone questioning Pep starting sterling? He was arguably their only player that looked dangerous. Instead let's talk about how terrible mahrez was
He looked dangerous for about 12 minutes. Then he started beef with James and disappeared into the ether.
Everyone is surprised because Pep has barely relied on Sterling at all and Sterling mostly just dribbles the ball into trouble and loses possession this season. I loved Sterlings play a couple of years back but that dude is off a cliff.
But everyone looked bad today because they played a horrible system that nobody felt comfortable in. And got absolutely dominated for it. Starting Sterling is just one small facet of a complete tactical breakdown that we witnessed today.
Kante can keep KDB quiet.
It's unfair to blame Pep for his tactics. He had already lost to Chelsea twice, hence changing his tactics was justified. Chelsea's defence is very strong, hence he had to make some attacking changes.
"You don't judge a man's body of work over 1 game" - Craig Burley about Guardiola. Wish you'd be as impartial about Ole for once in your life. Taking a club from 6th to second, a cup final, and only 3 players away from having a team that may well challenge for trophies properly. Easy to forget, he's not had 200 million every summer to spend on defenders like Fraudiola.
Manure have spent £500m net over the last 5 years, City £600m, Liverpool £100m.
Guardiola neutralized himself.
Totally agree 👍👍
Kante also was struggling with injuries but he was the best player of the game love you Kante you’re the best
Fun fact chelsea is the 3 epl team to win champions leauge twice
4th
4th actually. Nottingham Forrest was the first in the 70's followed by Liverpool in the 80's then United in 99 and now Chelsea.
He said EPL. Nottingham Forrest arent in the premier league

@@buridah328 Sorry troll. Your salt doesn't sting here. Obviously I don't agree with the OP's overzealous declarations. Especially the same day that we won Europe. But, that's what you get from online fans. It's just a career mode accomplishment. They have no concept of the effort or importance. But back to you. What's got you so bent out of shape? You're trying to slate Chelsea when City are more of all the things that you criticize. So are you just bitter because your club didn't make the Final?
@@OzyMandias13 FACTS don’t change even if your feelings are hurt.
@@buridah328 Also, I don't understand the inclusion of "Isreali" in your description of Abramovich. Is that a dog whistle thing? Is there a connotation associated with that? Genuinely curious. The geopolitical landscape changes so quickly.
Louder please😍
It's illegal for kante to harass man city midfield.. He was literally threatening and ending careers of city players....
The Kante role 👏
Was James superb or Sterling really bad? Would James struggle against an in-form Sterling?
Didn't Fernandinho start the FA Cup semi's and get schooled?? Oh and didn't Rodri start the 1-2 league fixture and get schooled too?? And I thought they were B team players🤔🤔🤔 I'm confused
Exactly mate, am just flabbergasted that every time Chelsea wins against man city there will excuses, I don’t get it at all, credit should be given to where it’s due
@@johnnynash7705 no thanks still didnt get Citys best. Cant be a true Champion unless you win your league

Man City fans are crying and saying it's not their A team that played yesterday. It's some B or C team apparently. Their A team is only for league Cup finals
@@J.Sandhu2 absolute clown of a statement here. You must have been in a cave when Chelsea won premier league titles over the last 2 decades. Hope you hide in your cave when Chelsea wins the premier league next season.

But Real just curled their tails when they faced Chelsea
@@CyclonicDeath And that is where everyone will fail...more easily than they should

How City is considered as a top team I don't know. Every opponent City had in Knockouts beat themselves or the ref helped against Dortmund.
As far as Rudiger is concerned you just whack 'em apparently. Seemed to work on KDB - well worth a yellow!
Fun Fact: Tuchel and Pep met in a restaurant in Munich back in 2015. They discussed tactics together and even used salt-and-pepper mills from their fellow diners as players to have a more visual understanding of each other's game plans. Both wifes left the restaurant without their husbands. 😂
Once again Pep is proven to be an overrated manager. Messi can reunite with him now
He just won the league you mutt

Man City attack has been average this year cause they lack a goalscorer so it wasn't that hard to "neutralize"
Well their goal scorer is the center mid who was forced to play cdm because pep benched rodri
Lol yet their players score more goals than Chelsea. Chelsea have no goal scorers too. Their final third his horrible. Wasting wasting and wasting chances. No Chelsea player has more than 7 goals even J5 who has 7 are all penalties
kane will come to etihad to get his great prize
says alot about the epl as a whole
I mean, KDB, Gundogan, Foden all out of position. Sterling suddenly back in the team. Bernardo Silva starts? ...
No wonder they didn't do well. Legitimately nobody was comfortable with the setup today.
Why put Foden centrally? He's had almost all of his success out wide. Save the experiments like that for not a UCL final? Lol. So weird.
Down a goal then sub on the two holding midfielders?
Chelsea were fantastic but Pep deserves a ton of criticism for his tactics today. They had one shot on target. They don't lack talent.
Pep played two defensive midfielders in the FA cup and still got beaten. He played one defensive midfielder in the League match and also lost. So he had no option but to go all out without a defensive midfielder and still lost.
Finally a comment that can see it.
He just had to tinker again before the final didn't he.
I'm sorry frank but guardiola is not beyond criticism?
KDB went missing just like Bruno
Proves my point that you can’t call a player trash or not the best in their position if they don’t play well in big games.
@@mixfcb1086 yeah kdb is good but he isnt top 3 itw like city fans say
Thank god someone mentioned, people nowadays act like only bruno plays bad and kdb is some kinda God
he was in kante's pockets....dont blame him. Kante is an intimidating figure in the midfield
@@mixfcb1086 Not really. For starters trash is a stupid word to use in either case. But the mark of true greatness as agreed by most fans, former players and former Managers is whenever a great player shows up and take in the most Cup Finals.
Craig bang on here.. being a pep fan i can say that lineup and formation was total blunder. He should be criticised rightfully
Was that sterling and mahrez I saw hanging out of James and chilwells pocket
