- Story Text: Chelsea fans thronged the streets of west London to celebrate their club's Champions League final victory over Manchester City on Saturday night (May 29).
Fans screamed, hugged and sang songs to celebrate clinching Europe's most prestigious club honour.
Chelsea's second-ever Champions League title denied Pep Guardiola's Manchester City their first after Kai Havertz grabbed a first-half goal to secure a 1-0 win at the Estadio Do Dragao in Portugal.
Chelsea fan Morgan, who was celebrating with his fellow fans outside Chelsea's stadium Stamford Bridge, thought his team were well worth the victory.
''I'm buzzing! We came out and dominated it, we took control and to be fair we deserved to win it,'' Morgan said.
Premier League champions City were favourites ahead of the final but suffered a desperately disappointing night in their first Champions League showpiece match.
Despite winning three of the last four Premier League titles for City, Spaniard Guardiola failed to deliver the coveted European trophy he last won with Barcelona in 2011.
