If any were in doubt about Havertz’s credentials, however, one might reasonably expect his latest contribution on one of the biggest stages in world football to have changed a few minds.
What Went Wrong For Manchester City?
Apart from Phil Foden’s change in the box in the first half, Manchester City were never able to pose any series threat.
With Kevin De Bruyne forced to get substituted, City were left vulnerable at the center of the field without the Belgium player. Although they had scorers present in the center, yet City never feeded upon Chelsea’s open spaces and rather focused only opening delivering the ball into the box.
Having said that, this could surely be regarded as one of worst performances of the season by City as Chelsea managed to beat them thrice in the second half of the 2020-21 season alone.
