Saturday, 29 May 2021
Kick-Off: 20h00
 
Chelsea FC will be looking to redeem themselves when they face Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League final at the Estadio Do Dragao on May 29.
 
The Blues are still licking their wounds after losing to Leicester City in this season's FA Cup final which was played at Wembley Stadium on May 15.
 
They will take the Champions League final as an opportunity to console themselves by winning Europe's premier club football tournament.
 
Chelsea reached the final despite being inconsistent having won just one of their last three matches in the competition.

The Blues have played 12 matches in this season's Champions League and they have recorded three draws, one defeat and eight victories. 
 
Their only defeat in the competition came against Portuguese giants FC Porto at home in the quarter-final second-leg encounter in April 2021.

Cesar Azpilicueta, the Chelsea captain, says they believe in themselves as they prepare for the Champions League final against City having defeated Real Madrid in the semi-finals. 
 
"We [City] have played them lots of times but it's a Champions League final: we go with everything, we believe in ourselves," Azpilicueta said. 
 
"We know we will have to work hard but we are ready for it. It was a massive performance – we could have scored more goals. Our aim was to keep a clean sheet against this team that has a lot of options.
 
"In the second half, clearly we were better. We had more chances and we had to suffer, but we fought really hard."
 
The last competitive meeting between City and Chelsea was on 8 May 2021.
 
The game ended in a 2-1 win in favour of Chelsea in a Premier League match which took place at the Etihad Stadium.
