Ahead of Saturday night’s big one, Chelsea are said to have caught wind that Manchester City were planning a celebration party.
Not that Chelsea would have needed any extra motivation, but for those who had heard about City’s soiree it certainly helped add fuel to the fire.
As we now know, celebrating was the last thing on City’s mind on Saturday night after Kai Havertz’s goal decided this all-English final.
Pep Guardiola’s men would have left the Estadio Do Dragao by the time Chelsea’s players and staff had arrived back to their dressing room after milking every ounce of adulation on the pitch.
