I am worried now. To beat City 3 times in a month is a bit too much? 

Liverpool (when they were still a 70's points team) did them three times on the spin in 17/18.

22500 is BS for a CL final. They could easily ramp that up to half capacity/45,000.

I would have hoped more assistance from the Wembley and the FA and FL.

They created merry hell about ESL, but fuck all about the numptys at EUFA, god I fucking hate that organisation.

Is it weird that I wanted us to draw or lose to City yesterday.. because I just can't see us beating them 3 times in a row?? The footballing superstitions are haunting my every sleep already.

UEFA 'set to hold talks with the UK Government TOMORROW about moving Champions League final from red-list Istanbul to Wembley... with decision on venue for Chelsea vs Manchester City set to be made on Tuesday'

Let common sense prevail, or at least be a first with them...

With two finals approaching penalties are very possible option. 

Our both finals in CL ended this way. 

Under Lampard we lost both times. SuperCup against Liverpool and this season in EFL Cup against Spurs. Both times he put young player to shot 5th penalty. Abraham and Mount. They both missed. Pressure will now be even bigger. So I hope Tuchel is aware of this and he puts most experienced players. 

We have great shooters. 

Jorginho, Azpi, Werner, Havertz and Ziyech would be my 5. I know Kai is young but he never missed penalty. Pulisic and Silva also. Rudiger is leader and has power in his foot.

Prospect of the final being moved from Crapatürk to Wembley is growing more likely. Would be a wise move and great for the fans to witness this. Wembley is the best location for a final anyway.

UEFA are also exploring Portugal apparently.

What we need to be optimistic about, is that City have hardly tested Kepa/Mendy on both occasions. Tuchel's system genuinely protects the GK. This will hopefully have Pep overthink his approach.

Portugal would be alright but I'd rather have Wembley for the obvious reasons of it being effectively a home game for us.

Portugal had it last year. Also, does this mean Istanbul next year?

Well, City have played so many domestic cup finals there so they can say the same thing.
