Any thoughts on this?
Things did not go the way most people have expected (myself included). I thought if Chelsea were to win, it would be mostly down to luck, i.e. a lucky goal by Chelsea and ineffective strikes by PSG, or winning by penalties etc, but that wasn't the case. Chelsea was clearly a better team tonight, despite PSG's dominance in ball possession.
Was Maresca better at setting strategy than Enrique? Was it Chelsea performing unexpectedly well, or PSG underperforming?
Could other French clubs take a lesson from Chelsea's performance tonight and use that against PSG in the league games?
I'm not sure what to think about that loss, but all the aura they had after beating Real 4-0 is now gone.

Any team could do better in any match because we saw many final matches in which favorite team was loser because they took opponent team lightly but they should not take lightly any team. Always hard work is required to win the title and hundred percent focus matters a lot when you are trying to win the final against good team .We saw many different games results which we did not expected but team should prepare well and work on the limitations which can give us lose . Big teams always try to learn more and don't stop because if you will be stop then next person will go ahead and we will be behind. PSG could not do goals which was the reason that team lost the match in the end.

It's not yet over until the final day is over. Strong clubs should admit this and stop feeling that they are done with winning the title, because they have managed to beat strong clubs and make it to the finals. When you underestimate your opponents, that is the beginning of your downfall. PSG thought that they're going to win Chelsea easily and came to the finals unprepared. The opposite was the case.
