JAKARTA - Former Playboy model Maria Liman praised Chelsea's performance under coach Thomas Tuchel. But, ahead of the Champions League final against Manchester City, he instead called Pep Guardiola "sexy."
Tuchel has transformed Chelsea since he took over the leadership from Frank Lampard at the end of January. The Blues even managed revenge on Leicester - on Tuesday night - following their disappointment in the FA Cup final at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Chelsea and Manchester City will clash next week in the Champions League final at Porto - after both teams have beaten their respective opponents; PSG and Real Madrid.
Ahead of the All-English Final clash, former Russian Playboy model and Blues fanatic Liman gave Chelsea encouraging words on her Instagram.
"Congratulations, BEAUTIFUL! I've always believed in the team, and with Tuchel, Chelsea are getting stronger," the London-based model said.
"A lot of people laughed that Real Madrid would get rid of them (Chelsea), but they deflected all these predictions.
'At (Manchester) City there's a very cool and strong coach (he's also sexy), but Chelsea are still cooler. Leicester, I sympathise."
Liman rose to prominence during the 2018 World Cup when he supported his home country, Russia. While recently, she starred in a film called Long Therapy is Inevitable.
"I trained hard to appear in English-language films and still work in London," he told The Sun.
'In fact, I'm so busy now I don't even have time to watch Chelsea games and follow the Premier League.'
In a follow-up interview, the brunette revealed that she misses Stamford Bridge: "I miss her so much. I want to go to chelsea's home ground to feel the atmosphere and crazy energy there."
Unfortunately, like most Chelsea fans, Liman will be forced to watch the Champions League final on TV.
