Wacha usaliti OP!
Leo tuko na Guardiola riwe riwaro.
It would be nice if both teams lost seeing that their success originates from the oil wealth of the Middle East and Siberia but si kwa ubaya, Aguero deserves lifting the Big Ears before leaving Manchester City for Barcelona.

Lawro: I'm going with City to win it, and win it in 90 minutes.
Chelsea haven't faced City's big hitters yet, but they have already played a couple of different ways to beat Guardiola's side in the past few weeks.
Yes, Tuchel got it absolutely right tactically each time but there won't be a surprise element to how he lines up his team this time. He has showed Pep his Plan A and his Plan B, and I am not sure there is a Plan C.
City have already won the Premier League and now they just need one last effort to bring home this trophy too. The players know this is the big one, and that they can make history for their club.

This is the third all-English final - and second in three seasons - in the Champions League.
In 2008, Chelsea lost 6-5 on penalties to Manchester United in Moscow after the match had finished 1-1 after 120 minutes.
Eleven years later, Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid in the last final to be played in front of a capacity crowd.
If City beat Chelsea, they will become the sixth different English club to be crowned champions of Europe after Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
City are the ninth different English club to reach the final after Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Leeds United, Arsenal and Tottenham.
The last English team to win their first final was Aston Villa in 1982 against Bayern Munich.
It is 51 years since Manchester City last played in a major European final - beating Gornik Zabrze 2-1 in the 1970 Cup Winners' Cup final.
In European competition, Chelsea and Manchester City's only previous meeting came in the 1970-71 Cup Winners' Cup semi-final - Chelsea won both legs 1-0 to progress to the final, where they beat Real Madrid after a replay.
If he starts, City's Phil Foden, who turned 21 on Friday, will become the third-youngest Englishman to start in a Champions League final, after Owen Hargreaves in 2001 for Bayern Munich (20 years 123 days) and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold in both 2018 (19 years 231 days) and 2019 (20 years 237 days).
Since featuring in a 2-1 defeat by Lyon in September 2018, City's Bernardo Silva is unbeaten in his past 26 Champions League matches (W23 D3) - the longest unbeaten run in the history of the competition.
Chelsea defender Thiago Silva featured in last season's Champions League final for Paris St-Germain and could become the fifth player to play in the final in consecutive seasons with different teams, after Marcel Desailly (1993 Marseille, 1994 Milan), Paulo Sousa (1996 Juventus, 1997 Borussia Dortmund), Samuel Eto'o (2009 Barcelona, 2010 Inter Milan) and Alvaro Morata (2014 Real Madrid, 2015 Juventus).
In 2014, Edouard Mendy was jobless after leaving AS Cherbourg. He registered with Pole Emploi - the French service for unemployed people. At 22, he considered giving up on making a career in football. Today he's set to play in a CL final.
Edouard Mendy is set to become the first African goalkeeper to play in a CL final
if Pep Guardiola leads them to the title today it will be 10 years since his last success with Barcelona in 2011.He won it twice as Barcelona boss, with Lionel Messi's help, but so far he's not been able to crack it with City.
In contrast, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is seeking his first Champions League trophy.
The German took Paris St-Germain to the final last season but lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich. Better luck this time?

It is not the banter that makes me mad. It is the weird fans who are always tweeting OleOut, mainly United 'fans' , and racial slurs every time the team lose a game. When did this become normal lakini? Arsenal fans started the #XOut game.
This Solskjaer hate is what I cannot stand the most. I was hoping he wins the trophy so tuone what these clowns will come up with next.

Rooting for City, for the love of pure unadulterated, attacking, free-flowing football, I hate how good Foden is and he will be there for another decade playing for our rivals
Sidenote: I hope City winning the double irritates the Board at United enough to do stellar work in the transfer market.

How will it take toll?
I find the ka-report rather repetitive and unnecessarily melodramatic. It could have been condensed into one or at most two paragraphs.
