Pep Guardiola’s Man City, who are on the verge of becoming Premier League champions, saw off last season’s runners-up Paris Saint-Germain to progress to their first Champions League final. Chelsea, meanwhile, beat 13-time winners Real Madrid 3-1 on aggregate to set up an all-English final as they bid to win the tournament for a second time. But the former England defender was quick to praise Chelsea for ‘battering’ Real Madrid in their semi-final tie and says it should have been even more comfortable for Thomas Tuchel’s in-form side. Chelsea are the first football club to have both their men’s and women’s teams in the Champions League final in the same season!
