Two years ago, Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid. • There have been seven previous UEFA Champions League finals between clubs from the same country, all since 2000. Real Madrid were victorious in all-Spanish affairs in 2000 (Valencia), 2014 and 2016 (both Atlético de Madrid) while AC Milan beat fellow Italian side Juventus on penalties in 2003 and Bayern München overcame Borussia Dortmund in the 2013 all-German final. • City are the ninth English club to appear in a European Cup final, more than any other country; Italy and Germany are next on the list with six each. • This final will now be held at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto, the venue for City's goalless draw against the local side in the group stage – the only game they have failed to win in this season's competition – and where Chelsea have won only once in four attempts. • City and Chelsea have both conceded just four goals en route to this final, the lowest total for the two finalists since Barcelona (four goals against) took on Arsenal (two) in the 2006 decider. Neither side have conceded more than once in a UEFA Champions League game in 2020/21. Final pedigree Manchester City • City are the 42nd club to reach the European Cup final, and the third newcomers in successive seasons after Tottenham in 2019 and Paris Saint-Germain in 2020. They are the 21st team to reach the UEFA Champions League final. • City could become the 23rd side to win the European Cup, and the first new name on the trophy since Chelsea's 2012 triumph. • This is City's second European final. They beat Polish club Górnik Zabrze 2-1 at Vienna's Prater Stadion in the 1969/70 European Cup Winners' Cup final. • Josep Guardiola, a winner with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, could become the sixth coach to win the European Cup with two different clubs, after Ernst Happel (Feyenoord 1970, Hamburg 1983), Ottmar Hitzfeld (Borussia Dortmund 1997, Bayern München 2001), José Mourinho (Porto 2004, Internazionale 2010), Jupp Heynckes (Real Madrid 1998, Bayern 2013) and Carlo Ancelotti (AC Milan 2003, 2007, Real Madrid 2014). • İlkay Gündoğan is the only member of the City squad who has previously played in the UEFA Champions League final. Having scored Dortmund's goal from the penalty spot in their 2-1 defeat by Bayern in 2013, he could become the fourth player to find the net for different clubs in the European Cup final. Velibor Vasović (Partizan 1966, Ajax 1969), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United 2008, Real Madrid 2014, 2017) and Mario Mandžukić (Bayern 2013, Juventus 2017) have all previously managed it. Chelsea • This is Chelsea's third UEFA Champions League final, with both previous appearances decided by penalties (W1 L1): 2008 Manchester United L 1-1 (aet, 5-6 pens), Moscow 2012 Bayern München W 1-1 (aet, 4-3 pens), Munich • Thomas Tuchel led Paris Saint-Germain to last season's final, where they were beaten 1-0 by Bayern in Lisbon; he is the first man to take two different clubs to the European Cup final in successive seasons. • Thiago Silva was captain of the Paris side that lost in last season's final; he is the only Chelsea player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League decider. • Mateo Kovačić was an unused substitute in Real Madrid's final wins in 2017 and 2018; he also made eight appearances in their victorious 2015/16 campaign, but missed out on the matchday squad for the final. • In addition to their two UEFA Champions League appearances, Chelsea were also victorious in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals in 1971 (2-1 replay vs Real Madrid) and 1998 (1-0 vs Stuttgart) and the UEFA Europa League finals in 2013 (2-1 vs Benfica) and 2019 (4-1 vs Arsenal).
