Kai Havertz could not be lucky on Saturday night after conquering the Champions League with Chelsea. The German made the winning goal for the Londoners in Oporto in the 0-1 final against Manchester City. The maker of the golden goal just before half-time could hardly think clearly after the final whistle. “I really don’t know what to say now,” stammered the 21-year-old midfielder.
“I want to thank everyone, my family, my parents, my grandmother and my girlfriend. I’ve been waiting for this for fifteen years. Now my moment has come. ” Before Havertz could finish his interview, captain César Azpilicueta started a spontaneous party with his teammate, who in all his euphoria lost himself for a while and used a few expletives during the live broadcast.

Havertz was reminded to be Chelsea’s most expensive purchase. His price tag of eighty million euros led to the necessary criticism. “None of me can do that at all fuck care, we just got the fucking Champions League won ”, said the ex-player of Bayer Leverkusen. Havertz played his twentieth game in the Champions League on Saturday and scored his first goal in the tournament in the final, after no less than 21 full hours and 2 minutes.
Azpilicueta quickly protected Havertz. “He stayed so calm with that goal. But not only that. He kept running in this race. That’s why he deserved to score the winning goal, ”said Azpilicueta, who joined the club when Chelsea first won the Champions League. “I really wanted to experience that success, and now I have succeeded. This is a special day, a very special day, “the captain stressed the Blues.
