German national and ex-PSG coach, Thomas Tuchel Led Chelsea to Champions League Glory: the big question is What’s Next for the Blues after their UCL victory over Pep Guardiola’s Man City? SportsFila.com discusses Chelsea’s Champions League triumph and the future of manager Thomas Tuchel.

Is the UEFA super cup or the FiFa club world cup the next target for Thomas Tuchel? Well, T.T never stops dreaming!

One thing is for sure, Roman Abramovich has rewarded Tuchel with a brand-new contract set to last until 2024. Pep Guardiola thought he was winning ‘The Treble’ this season. Unfortunately, the only treble he got in the end was Three defeats to Thomas Tuchel in 6 weeks!

Kante showed the Citizens that he was a man from another planet.

Supercomputer predictions got it wrong when they thought that City were going to roll over Chelsea. Not even Real Madrid could eliminate Tuchel’s Chelsea.

Thanks to Mendy, Chelsea recorded 19 clean sheets in 30 games, and come to think of this: 3 of the Blues’ clean sheets came in 4 games against City and Liverpool.

Has Thomas Tuchel won Champions League?

Yeah, sure. Thomas Tuchel won Champions League with Chelsea in 2021?
Chelsea first looked stranded in the middle of the 2020/21 season, but the appointment of Thomas Tuchel turned the EPL club into Champions League winners. Exactly 4 months and 4 days after Frank Lampard’s sacking, the Blues were crowned European Champions after beating Pep Guardiola and Manchester City by 1-0 in Portugal.

How many times have Chelsea won the Champions League?
Since the London club’s debut in 1999, Chelsea have featured 17 times in the UEFA Champions League. They have won the UCL title two (2) times – that’s 2011/12 season and 2020-21 season.

Timo Werner did not fulfill the big-money expectations, yet his runs took off both Reuben Dias and John Stones from the picture, thus creating the space for the Havertz goal.

This means as Thomas Tuchel Led Chelsea to Champions League Glory, the next big agenda for the Blue is to successfully defend their UCL trophy in the coming campaign.

SportsFila.com continues to monitor Chelsea’s approach to the transfer market now as European champions. Remember when the Pensioners club previously won the competition, they were able to attract Europe’s top emerging talent at the time…Eden Hazard (who became a big flop at Real MADRID by the way).

What’s Next for the Blues? Building a team no one wants to play against: Thomas Tuchel Led Chelsea to Champions League Glory in 2021

Few people took Tuchel seriously when the German tactician earlier hinted that he was going to build an undefeatable Stamford Bridge at Chelsea. Yes, he did that. Now, his next move is to reinforce the squad during the summer.

The most important thing now for Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea is to celebrate their deserving UCL trophy in front of the supporters at Stamford Bridge.

Man City fans have been quite quiet ever since they got humbled so hard by Tuchel’s tactics. As the saying goes, “once bitten, twice shy”.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Champions League Final 2021

Thomas Tuchel beat Pep Guardiola’s Man City 3 times consecutively

PSG sacked Unai Emery and Tuchel, only for them to win the Europa League and UCL trophy in 2021. Amazing!

You can also conclude that Chelsea consistently sacking managers and bringing in replacements has brought quite a lot of success to the club in the last 10-15 years. So, no one really misses Frank Lampard that much.

Guardiola panicked after his 2nd defeat to Chelsea, he over-thought his tactics against Chelsea in the UEFA champions League final, which gave Tuchel a big opportunity to make history. The Blues’ boss may have plans to defeat Guardiola more, come next season.

Thomas Tuchel aka TT took only a couple of months to win the UCL title while pep requires millions of years to reach the final with Manchester City. Arrogance and overconfidence has been Pep’s  biggest failure. TT just sticks to the basics, and it works for him.

United ON THE BRINK of Champions League exit thanks to Onana

3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.

Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm

Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.

7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time

As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit

Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.

I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.

Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know

Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.

Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?

Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk

United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.

It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!

Copenhagen Post-Match Onana and Maguire heroes after dramatic win

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.

If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.

Tottenham Topping the Premier League table

It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.

He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Eriksen great performance in Man Utd UCL win!

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.

Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.

Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland

Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.

What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?

The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.

We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
