Before the game started, there were some problems with Chelsea's lineup. First of all, goalkeeper Parker replaced the starting goalkeeper Mendi, which was a bold decision. Parker has not performed well this season, while Mendy has performed well in the Champions League. In addition, Chelsea's main defenders, Iorgi Mourinho and Christensen, were absent due to injuries, so the team could only send a temporary combination defense. Manchester City sent a strong lineup, including stars such as De Braun, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva.
After the game started, Manchester City occupied the advantage on the field and controlled the rhythm of the game. Chelsea, on the other hand, took a defensive counter-attack strategy and bided its time. However, in the 42nd minute, Manchester City won a penalty. Sterling took the penalty, but Parker saved it. This save became a turning point in the game and a historic moment for Parker.
The embodiment of team spirit, the unity and courage of Chelsea.
Parker's save boosted Chelsea's morale and the team began to master the rhythm of the game gradually. In the second half, Chelsea's counterattack became sharper and sharper, and Manchester City's defense began to show loopholes. In the 55th minute, Chelsea got the chance to score. Azpiriquita crosses, Werner heads the goal and the ball is saved by goalkeeper Edersen, but Havertz makes up the shot and Chelsea 1-0 leads.
In the lead, Chelsea's defense was more solid, and Manchester City didn't find a chance to score. Before the end of the game, Chelsea's Havertz scored another goal and sealed the victory. Chelsea finally beat Manchester City 2-0 to win the Champions League.
Behind Chelsea's victory is the unity and courage of the team. The team encountered many difficulties in the game, but the players always maintained their confidence and determination.

In addition, Chelsea's defense is also excellent, and the team defender performed well in the game and successfully resisted Manchester City's attack.
