Manchester City and Chelsea are intimately familiar with one another, and the hope is that it'll breed some contempt when they meet in the Champions League final on Saturday.
The teams are, of course, Premier League giants. City's coming off a league title while Chelsea finished fourth, but the advantage has swung the Londoners' way over the two most recent meetings. Under Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea have had City's number — including the last knockout match the teams played, a 1-0 win in the FA Cup semifinals in April. With that in mind, Tuchel's men will enter Saturday's match with the knowledge that they can handle City in a one-off contest with massive stakes.
For Pep Guardiola's side, the Champions League is the final frontier in becoming a truly global powerhouse. The Sky Blues have won everything else on offer since Guardiola took the reins, but the manager was not brought on to continue City's domestic dominance — but rather to extend it to Europe.
It's the kind of pressure Guardiola lives for, and now a familiar foe is all that's standing in the way of the club's self-determined destiny.
