Manchester City v Chelsea: Champions League final – live!

90 min +3: City fling a long throw into the Chelsea box from the right. Some pinball. Chilwell hacks clear. Both teams are playing desperation football right now.

90 min +2: Jorginho goes down as though shot. He’s not been shot. He gets up as play goes on.

90 min +1: There’s also plenty of time for Chelsea to score a clincher, and with that in mind they launch a counter. It goes nowhere, but the clock ticks on.

90 min: Dias, in space on the left, fires a ball across the face of the goal. Foden tries so hard to trap and shoot on the right-hand corner of the six-yard box, but Christensen slides in to block. Then the board goes up: there will be seven added minutes. Plenty of time for City to save themselves!

89 min: Chelsea string together a series of passes deep in City territory. City can’t get hold of the ball, just when they need some precious possession.

88 min: Jesus is booked for coming through the back of Haverrtz, who takes his sweet time to bounce back up, in the classic clock-management style.

87 min: On the touchline, Thomas Tuchel turns to the Chelsea fans and energetically encourages them to make some more noise. Some arm waving, a couple of screams of COME ON, and the supporters oblige.

86 min: Walker, out on the right, sends a lovely inswinger towards Foden and Aguero, queuing on the edge of the six-yard box. Neither can meet it, and the ball flies out, wide left, for a goal kick.

85 min: James misjudges a diagonal ball, allowing Aguero to pick up possession to the left of the six-yard box. He’s got options in the middle, but floats a weak chip into Mendy’s hands.

84 min: Chelsea look comfortable again … but there’s always one last chance in matches like this, isn’t there?

82 min: The free kick’s half cleared. Jorginho has a speculative boot from distance. Always heading wide left, but Chelsea are now 60 seconds closer to glory. “Aguero coming on sets up the potential for him to show that he can do a Panenka right,” suggests Peter Oh, as if our nerves aren’t already shredded enough.

81 min: Havertz has the chance to release Chilwell into space down the middle, but overcooks the pass in from the right. Chiwell races off after the ball, and is clipped by Walker out on the left. Free kick in a very dangerous position.

79 min: De Bruyne, towel draped over his shoulders, is taken down the steps, slowly and gingerly, towards the changing room. Such a sad sight. Meanwhile on comes Kovacic, finally getting some minutes in a Champions League final, after watching two for Real Madrid from the bench, for Mount.

78 min: Walker crosses from the right. Deflection. Corner. Mahrez takes … and fails to beat the first man. Havertz, at the near post, heads clear. City have another new captain, by the way: the departing Sterling, having received the armband from De Bruyne, passes it on to Fernandinho.

76 min: Mount has a dig from distance. Wide left. Before Ederson can restart the game, on comes Sergio Aguero, taking Sterling’s place. A quarter of an hour to write one of the great fairytales, then.

74 min: Now City go up the other end and nearly create something, Sterling reaching the byline on the left and pulling back for Jesus … but Chilwell gets in the road to clear. This game really is teetering in the balance.

73 min: Chelsea should be two up. They intercept and break, Havertz barging his way down the centre. He slips a pass to Pulisic, overlapping on his right. Pulisic strides into the box, draws Ederson and … chips over the keeper but wide of the left-hand post. What a chance!

72 min: City continue to huff and puff. “Would anyone have dreamt that Fernandinho would be replacing Silva in the second half of a game that City are chasing?” asks Cameron Dunbar. “Not even saying it’s the wrong move, just a strange situation to be in. Shows you how badly Guardiola has gotten this in my opinion.”

70 min: Nothing comes from the resulting corner, then Azpilicueta is in shot again, having hurt his knee when challenging Jesus. For a second, it looks very serious, the referee responding to his screams by instantly waving the Chelsea physio on, but happily in turns out to be nothing more than some stinging post-impact pain. He’s back up soon enough.

68 min: City nearly open Chelsea up, Mount and Foden combining down the right channel, Mahrez whipping infield low and hard for Gundogan, waiting to tap in from six yards. Azpilicueta slides back and whips over the bar, a stunning intervention.

67 min: In the stand, De Bruyne presses a very large bag of ice on his left eye, which is surrounded by a Whizzer-and-Chips shiner. He’ll need a comic-book-size steak on that later.

66 min: Fernandinho’s first act is to fly into Jorginho. It’s late, but he does try to pull out at the last minute. Just a talking-to from the referee, nothing more. Then Chelsea make their second switch, replacing the erratic Werner with Pulisic.

65 min: City stroke it about, but it’s extremely sterile possession.

64 min: A second change for City, with Fernandinho coming on for Bernardo Silva.

62 min: You’ll hear more about Rudiger stepping in the way of De Bruyne, I’ll be bound. Here’s Alex Whitney: “That’s impressive: take an opposing player out of the game, but your team suffers nothing. Glorious example of how the rules of the game favour cynicism.”

60 min: Immediately from the restart, City’s new captain Sterling has a shot from the left-hand edge of the D. His effort is chested down by James. Huge appeals for a penalty, and VAR has a good, long look, but it’s nearly all chest, little or no arm. We play on.

59 min: This is awful to watch. De Bruyne has been given a proper old-fashioned shiner, and he’s extremely groggy. He can’t continue. He leaves the scene in tears, discombobulated and stunned, consumed by sorrow. Jesus comes on in his wake.

58 min: … but De Bruyne has taken an even bigger whack, and he’s still down receiving treatment. A very worrying moment for City. “It seems like Pep has painted himself into a corner,” argues Luke Jones. “His starting lineup was heavy on attacking. But now looking at his bench, he doesn’t have a lot of great options that would be a clear improvement to their offense, unless you believe in a sentimental Aguero moment.”

56 min: Rudiger cynically checks De Bruyne, who was trying to make ground down the right. A double punishment, as he takes quite a whack as the pair collide at speed, and it’s a yellow when the defender gets back up.

55 min: Gundogan gives away a free kick out on the right, clipping Havertz’s heel. Nothing comes of the resulting set piece, but Gundogan has to be careful seeing he’s on a yellow.

53 min: Now it’s Dias’s turn to execute a world-class slide, as he pokes the ball away from Werner, who was threatening to break free down the right, chasing after James’ long pass.

52 min: De Bruyne lengthens his stride and begins to look very dangerous as he sashays down the inside-left channel. But just as he shapes to shoot, Kante comes sliding in from behind and hooks away sensationally. As good a tackle as you’ll see.

51 min: Chelsea look fairly comfortable at the moment. City haven’t created anything of note since the restart. Guardiola may be considering a change.

49 min: City knock it around but Chelsea hold their shape and there’s no way through. Eventually Walker swings in from the right but it’s an easy claim for Mendy, with nobody in sky blue sniffing around. Penny for the thoughts of Sergio Aguero.

48 min: In fact De Bruyne dummies it and leaves Foden to take instead. Foden can’t beat first man Kante, and what a waste that is.

47 min: Sterling busies himself down the left and is gently tugged by James. All’s fair in love and war, so down he goes. Free kick. De Bruyne to take.

Chelsea get the second half underway. A reminder that if the teams are level after 90 minutes, it’s 30 minutes of extra time and possibly penalties. There have been no half-time changes, but there could be plenty to come: each team are allowed to make five subs, with a sixth permissible if we go to extra time.

Half-time entertainment. As things stand, it’s one heck of a day for west London. Paul Doyle was at Wembley to see Brentford finally make it to the promised land of the Premier League. Here’s his take on an excellent performance from the Bees.

City look a little stunned as they make their way down the tunnel, Pep having very quickly disappeared down it beforehand. Chelsea stroll off, ten feet tall. A gorgeous Kai Havertz finish is the difference; Chelsea are 45 minutes away from their second European Cup! City have some thinking to do.

45 min +1: Kante chips in cutely from the right. Werner chests down, just by the edge of the six-yard box. He turns, and shanks a dismal effort wide right. He’s been involved constantly since the get-go, impressing in every aspect other than his shooting. A big caveat admittedly, but he’s an undoubted presence up front.

45 min: Chelsea won’t want to hear the half-time whistle, but it’ll be coming in three minutes time. On the touchline, Pep looks extremely concerned.

44 min: That’s a lovely goal. Ederson had come racing out of his box, and the ball hit his arm, although he was trying to withdraw it. Havertz could also have gone over, in a cynical attempt to get the keeper sent off. So it could have been worse for City. But here we are. Silva screams at his team-mates to pick up their heads, while the Dragao erupts!

Chelsea ping it around patiently … then spring forward! Mendy passes wide left to Chilwell, who finds Mount infield. Mount spins and plays a first-time ball down the inside-left channel. Havertz races after it, though a huge gap in the City defence caused by Werner’s decoy run to the left. Ederson comes to the edge of the box, but Havertz rounds him on the left and rolls into an empty net!

40 min: Chilwell crosses deep from the left. Werner tries to cushion the ball into the path of Havertz, but the two Chelsea forwards are too close to each other, and a baroque mess ensues. Chelsea have attacked well; they’ve just been unable to find that final ball.

39 min: Poor old Silva can’t continue. He’s close to tears as he motions to the bench, then trudges off, but it doesn’t stop him making a special beeline towards his replacement Christensen, wishing him all the best.

37 min: City have enjoyed 58 percent of possession so far. No huge surprises here. Chelsea are quite happy to wait for a chance to counter, and here they come, snaffling the ball, Kante gliding upfield with options either side. He looks for Havertz down the inside-right, Zinchenko recovering and blocking. That’s a fine last-ditch tackle, though Kante should perhaps have used one of his options to the left instead.

36 min: Silva isn’t happy. It’s not his shoulder; it’s a pull in the groin. He’s feeling his Special Area gingerly, and wincing quite a lot. He’s going to continue for now, though Chelsea have sent Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma out to warm up, just in case.

34 min: Gundogan high-kicks Mount to the floor as Chelsea build an attack from deep. VAR has a look at a possible red-card offence, but it’s just a yellow for a kick on the knee.

32 min: Now it’s Chelsea’s turn to take a little sting out of the game with some sterile stuff at the back. After that flurry of City action, they need the breather.

31 min: Walker turns on the jets and speeds past Chilwell down the right. He almost literally sends Chilwell spinning like a top in his slipstream. What determination … and what a cross he fizzes along the face of the six-yard box. Mahrez is inches away from sliding to connect with his toe. If he hadn’t cut his toenails last night, it was 1-0.

29 min: After a slow start, it’s safe to say City have woken up. They’re beginning to get a lot of joy down their left flank.

27 min: Sterling turns on the burners and tries to make his way past James on the outside. He nearly manages it, but James battles well to fend him off. City come again, immediately, De Bruyne slipping a pass down the left channel for Foden, who is suddenly free in the box! But only for a split second. Foden looks to pass across Mendy and into the bottom right, but his shot is blocked by an absurdly good last-ditch challenge by Rudiger, whose telescopic leg balloons the ball into the arms of his keeper.

26 min: James curls in. City clear, then swarm upfield. In a matter of milliseconds, the ball’s been shuttled back to the feet of Mendy. For all the open, fun play, neither keeper has had a serious save to make yet.
