According to Football.london, Chelsea will be wearing their home kits against Manchester City in the Champions League final. The Blues are technically the ‘away side’ for the game and both the finalists have different shades of blue as their home kit.
Chelsea are all set to take on Manchester City in the Champions League final as the season gets to its close. Both sides have faced a lot of challenges to get to this stage. They will be hoping to get their hands on that elusive piece of silverware. There were problems regarding the venue and it was finally decided that Porto would be hosting the showpiece event.
Nonetheless, as thing continue to simmer, Chelsea have been given the all-clear to wear their home kit for the game. On paper, Chelsea are the ‘away side’. They might have had to wear an away or alternate kit due to City also having a blue home kit.
Barring a huge similarity in the kits of the sides, Chelsea are likely to wear their home kit. It looks unlikely that any such thing will happen. Chelsea and City have played each other thrice this season in their home kits. Interestingly, this would be the third time Chelsea would be wearing their home kit in a Champions League final after 2008 and 2012.
The final is edging closer as both teams take their final preparations. It is expected to be a huge clash given the underlying factors. Chelsea are aiming for their second Champions League title while City are gunning for their first-ever.
