Chelsea landed a huge cash windfall as Real Madrid beat Liverpool in Champions League final.

On Saturday, the miracles were performed throughout the match, and by none other than former Chelsea slitherin Thibaut Courtois, who pulled off one of the greatest goalkeeping performances this side of Petr-Čech-in-2012 to win Real their record 14th European Crown.

It was Carlo Ancelotti’s record fourth title, as Eden Hazard get his long-awaited medal as well. Vinícius Junior got the game’s only goal just before the hour-mark, but it was Courtois who truly won the match for the Galácticos, making ridiculous save after ridiculous save evidently none of Liverpool’s players got the memo to shoot low and between the legs!

Incidentally, Courtois’ heroics had an added bonus, literally, for Chelsea as well, triggering a clause in Eden Hazard’s transfer agreement, reportedly resulting in a €20m windfall for the Blues similar to Real’s La Liga title in 2020 triggering a comparable payment.

Hazard didn’t get to play in last night’s game, having just recently returned from the latest of his seemingly never-ending injuries, but on the 10th anniversary of his decision to sign for Chelsea, he saw his Real Madrid dream become a bit less nightmarish as well.

Meanwhile, for Courtois, it was redemption, having convinced himself that he was not quite rated as highly in England as he deserved to be, which is a weird way to frame those four years at Chelsea proper, when we even maintained an online encyclopedia of his best saves.
