Chelsea 1 Man City 0 LIVE REACTION: Tuchel ‘set for new contract’ after triumph, Havertz goal hero – latest news

CHELSEA are celebrating a phenomenal Champions League victory after seeing off Man City in Lisbon.

Kai Havertz was the Blues' hero, with the German playmaker scoring the only goal of the game just before the break.

And reports suggest Thomas Tuchel could be set for a new contract at Stamford Bridge after masterminding the victory.

Follow ALL the reaction with our live blog below…

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    22' Havertz picks out Chilwell on the left and Stones clears his cross well.

    Chelsea keep it alive and work it out to James who floats a cross in, which Stones clears away in the air.

     

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    19' Werner with a loose touch on halfway and Sterling breaks.

    He runs right at the heart of the Chelsea back four and feeds de Bruyne on the left in acres of room.

    His low cross is cut out by a retreating, sliding Azpilicueta - but the flag is up against the City skipper.

    17' Chilwell gets down the left and hangs a peach of a cross up at the back post.

    Dias and Sterling are there to deal with it but it's Kante who finds himself getting on the end of it to head high and wide.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    16' Ederson comes out an claims it expertly in the air.

    He gets City going on the counter and they are flooding forward in numbers.

    Mount tracks back about 50 yards and shrugs de Bruyne off the ball as the City captain looked to wind up a killer pass.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    15' The Werner show continues as he gets on the edge of yet another ball over the top.

    This time down the left, he has a go from an angle which goes wide with the help of a deflection.

    Chelsea's first corner.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    13' It's another glorious Chelsea chance that goes amiss - yes for Werner.

    Great play from the Blues down the left as Havertz, Chilwell and Werner link up.

    The latter gets the final pass and cuts inside, again only eight yards out and scuffs it tamely at Ederson who gets down to save.

    13' Werner again gets on the end of a long ball over Zinchenko.

    The German holds it up well and finds Kante on the edge. His touch is poor and Dias steps in to win it and clear.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    11' City break forward fast and in numbers, Sterling getting beyond Jorginho who isn't catching him.

    Sterling lays a great ball across goal which Chilwell does fabulously well to get back to and slide in to clear it.

    End-to-end - lovely.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    10' OH NO! Another howler from Timo Werner.

    Havertz does exceptionally well to get to the byline and cut it back into the area.

    Werner is under no pressure, eight yards out and complete misses his kick, clearing it actually behind him. A golden chance!

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    9' Sent in by Foden but the referee's whistle goes against Zinchenko for a foul on Silva.

    8' Close! Ederson pings a sensational 80-yard pass over the top of James for Sterling who is clean through.

    His touch is OK but allows James to get back and get a toe on it, meaning he has to attempt a backheel which Mendy diverts behind for the first corner.

     

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    6' Walker fouls Silva in the Chelsea corner and the Blues get the free kick.

    Silva landed a bit awkwardly on his arm but is up - holding his shoulder.

    One to keep an eye on.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    5' Chilwell spots a gap down the left and tries to knock it beyond Silva and chase.

    He does show excellent pace but just runs it out of play for a throw-in.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    3' Werner again sent down the right in behind Zinchenko.

    He cuts it back into the area for Havertz who just overruns it with his touch.

    Havertz keeps it in but chips it straight to Ederson.

    2' Chelsea win a free kick on halfway and work it well down the right before a ball is clipped over the top for Werner to chase.

    He beats Stones to the ball and tries to dribble round him out wide on the right and wins a throw-in.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 MAN CITY

    1' Interesting tactic from Chelsea as they play the ball across their own box and into trouble.

    Rudiger is put under pressure and has to concede the throw.

    He's fortunate nothing comes of it as Chelsea clear the throw up to halfway.

  • PEEEEEEEEEP!

    The all-English Champions League final between Chelsea and Man City is underway!

  • HERE WE GOOOO......

  • ONE FOR CHELSEA

    Azpilicueta gets the better of de Bruyne in the coin toss.

     

  • HERE THEY COME

    An absolute cauldron of noise greets both sides despite the reduced capacity - what an atmosphere!

    Kevin de Bruyne and Cesar Azpilicueta lead the teams out.

    The spine-tingling Champions League anthem is played but is subsequently drowned out by a chorus of boos from the Light Blues end!
