Chelsea are champions of Europe once again.
Heading into the Champions League final as slight underdogs, Kai Havertz scored what turned out to be the winner shortly before half-time as he kept a cool head to round Ederson and slot the ball into an empty net.
In truth, Man City rarely threatened an equaliser despite Pep Guardiola throwing on the likes of Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus in a bid to force the game into extra-time.
It is now the second time Chelsea have won the Champions League trophy and despite such a magnificent achievement, one of their key players has remained humble.
As the final whistle blew, Mason Mount didn't immediately run over to celebrate winning the Champions League with his teammates.
Instead, he went over to comfort Man City defender John Stones.
Captured by the BT Sport cameras, the England internationals - who will soon be joining up for the European Championships - had a warm embrace as Chelsea players and staff celebrated around them.

Speaking about his decision to cut his celebrations short, Mount said it was out of respect to the City players for their journey to the final.
“City, what a team they are, you can see what they’ve done in the Premier League, they’ve very hard to play against," he told BT Sport. "You don’t know what you’re going to get, it’s a tough, tough game.
"We get one goal on the break, kind of, and we’re defending the whole game, we’re giving it our lives, blocks on the line, everything, and we win, so I don’t know what to say."
