They weren't outclassed in the Home game vs Napoli.

They pulled a Greece 2004, and perfectly. Good Job for Chelsea.

It's interesting that Chelsea never lost in the CL under Di Matteo!

But seriously if you re-watch our games in this champions league run...almost all of the teams had a sub par shooting night against us. It's either a) because we were hilariously lucky, the football gods shined on us and we got what karma owed us...OR b) because chelsea are such good pressuring defenders in the final third, attackers get freaked out that they will get tackled and snatch their shots.

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.

yeah it's nice to watch a team standing around the own goal for 120 minutes, getting lucky one time and win the match. a really really sad day for football.

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.

So annoying the people crying about the result. Firstly what do you think it achieves? 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.

haha congratz. 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).

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).

It was way more undeserving when chelsea won vs Benfica or Barcelona that this final that they actually played better than the other team during the Extra Time, and at spaces during the game.

Congrats to Chelsea.

Football always win unless the games are decided by poor refereeing skills.

Penalty shoot outs doesn't make any real justice to the teams.

Well, I just didn't find the way Chelsea played in the CL appealing. Of course, if it is a winning method, you have to stick to it.
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.

Can I just remind everyone that Chelsea scored in every Champions League game they played this season. EVERY GAME. Barcelona couldn't do it. Bayern couldn't do it. Real could, but then again they had a joke group and joke play-off opponents.
