Man City vs Chelsea final preview

Manchester City are entering this final after lifting the Premier League and the Carabao Cup trophy. The Championship League, however, will make history. While they've tasted success elsewhere, Man City are yet to win the UCL. Chelsea, on their end, will look to win for the first time after 2012. This will be the teams' 169th meeting throughout Champions League history, where Chelsea has 70 wins against Man City's 59. This match will also be a Champions League record of sorts as this will also be the two teams' first matchup in Europe since the 1970-71 Winners' Cup, which Chelsea won.
