GLORY AWAITS THE VICTOR

THOMAS TUCHEL was fired by PSG on Christmas Eve after leading the French champions to their first ever final in this competition last season. He is headed back to the final for a second consecutive season. Tuchel has had an extraordinary impact on Chelsea since joining the club three months ago and can also look forward to an FA Cup final against Leicester City on May 15.

PEP GUARDIOLA has not reached a Champions League final since his time at Barcelona, whom he led to European success both in 2008-09 and in 2010-11. But despite his success in the competition in Spain, he has not been able to replicate the form since he took charge of Manchester City in 2016. A win would ensure his name in the history books as one of the world’s most successful football managers.
