They pulled a Greece 2004, and perfectly. Good Job for Chelsea. It's interesting that Chelsea never lost in the CL under Di Matteo! | ||

I actually think it's more a than b but still b plays a part. Look at Barcelona and Bayern, napoli also scuffed a lot of shots in the second leg, benfica had a torrid time in front of goal. Our guys on the other hand were insanely clinical to the point of it being a joke. Ramires v Barcelona at the camp nou was like, the perfect embodiment of clinical. I have to also admit, with a wry smile, that I honestly did not give up all the way through that match. Even when we went down in the 82nd minute I just knew we would have something to offer :D. And even when we went down in the first penalty I kinda still thought it was our night.. Sorry to the Bayern fans though!!! | ||

It's ok defending is the future of football, much more efficent than how the germans play don't you think? In other news after we won I ran outside and started shouting, there much of been 8 other voices from different directions and distances around me also shouting outside, I wonder if Starcraft will ever get that big. | ||

It wasn't really that bad. In the second half chelsea managed to get their chances and in the extra time I think chelsea was better than bayern. Overall yes, bayern was the better team and went for the win all game, but it is unfair or just some degree of bias to say that chelsea only defended for 120 minutes. | ||

People don't seem to appreciate that when Chelsea got the ball and looked to make a counter attack just how good we were on the ball, playing the ball out from the back with fluency, very rarely did lose the ball when we got it and started our passing. | ||

I know what it feels like to win something extraordinary and in completely unexpected circumstances. I do feel a bit bitter about the result, but I'm not one to say Bayern deserved it more (because they didn't). | ||

Chelsea are gonna see your posts and think "oh no they right, we give trophy to Bayern now, duhhhhhh". How was it any way underserved? A penalty was correctly given and promptly missed, Chelsea didn't get any dubious goals, Bayern didn't outscore Chelsea. Sometimes its hard to just blame yourself. They never took their chances, and when it cost them they start saying 'football lost' and 'undeserved' and 'worst ever'. If you look at how Chelsea got to the final, against all odds. Then beating the germans on their own turf, how can you say they don't deserve it? I'm a chelsea fan though so i'm not bitter. and biased  "Football lost", dumbest argument ever. Fun stat: This was the 100th Champions League match for Chelsea since Roman Abramovich assumed ownership of the club in June 2003. Since then, no other team has played more than 91 Champions League matches and only one team has won more points than Chelsea's 180 (Barcelona with 190 points from 91 matches). | ||

Congrats to Chelsea. Football always win unless the games are decided by poor refereeing skills. | ||

On the other hand, I like the way they play in the Premier League and the league itself in general. To those who appreciate defending (I do too): What happens if two teams play each other who have the same mindset (playing safe, good tactical play, defending, etc.)? I am interested. | ||
