Tuchel has been doing an outstanding job since replacing Frank Lampard as Chelsea manager in January. He is now making European Cup history with his latest achievement.

According to Opta, Tuchel has just become the first manager in Champions League or European Cup history to reach successive finals with two different clubs.

Tuchel was also a finalist with Paris Saint-Germain last season. But had to lose to Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, the match against City will of course not be an easy match for Chelsea.

However, given the Blues' recent win over the Citizens in the FA Cup semi-finals, Tuchel clearly knows what it takes to be the better of Pep Guardiola.
