Nine years after their Champions League triumph, Chelsea were able to secure a place in the 2021 final, which was held in Estádio do Dragão in Porto against fellow English side Manchester City. This was the 3rd time that two English sides would face in the final (after 2008 – which Chelsea also involved – and 2019). Despite the odds being in Manchester City's favour and City dominating the possession throughout the game, Chelsea prevailed and were crowned Champions of Europe for the second time in the club's history after Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute, after Mason Mount's pass to him through on goal leading to Havertz taking the ball round Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson, and passing it into the net.
