Manchester City and Chelsea will meet in the highly-anticipated 2021 UEFA Champions League Final today, May 29, 2021, at 3:00 PM (ET). These two sides have already clashed against each other twice during the 2020/21 Premier League season, and once in the FA Cup Semi-Finals. Here, you will find everything there is to know about this thrilling and decisive soccer match, such as predictions, odds, storylines, and how to watch or live stream the game.

This will be their 169th overall meeting. Chelsea are by far the more successful side in head-to-head games, managing a total of 70 wins; Manchester City have emerged victorious 59 times so far, and even 39 matches have ended in a draw throughout the years. An interesting fact is that these clubs have, in fact, previously met in a UEFA competition, with the Blues ending up as the better side in both legs in the 1970/71 European Cup Winners' Cup Semi-Finals.

Their most recent game was played on May 8, 2021, when Thomas Tuchel's men clinched a late 2-1 triumph away at the Etihad Stadium. The hosts took the lead through Sterling, only for Aguero to miss a penalty for a possible 2-0 advantage during the first half. Little did City know that Chelsea would come back in the game via Ziyech. Then, just seconds before the final whistle, Alonso sealed the Citizens' fate. It promises to be an even more exciting clash as they meet for the fourth time in the 2020-21 season, this time in the grand Champions League Final.
