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!
Exactly how I felt watching the finals.... With both Real and Barcelona out, the finals didn't have the real feel to it, as they're clearly 2 of the 3 best teams currently, and I would even put them at #1 and #2 with Bayern #3, but that's personal preference.

I like how Bayern fans moan that Chelsea got lucky with penalties but praise their team for beating Real Madrid (via penalties! :D)

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). [/QUOTE]
Using your stolen money to spend billions of euros on football players can get you a team that wins alot, how surprising.

That's funny. I recall many people saying that "parking the bus" wouldn't work on Bayern and that they would totally rape Chelsea.
Chelsea won and you haters should get over it. But hey, why don't you lecture me about how you are supposed to play football in order to be worthy of a win?

I don't know man, I actually think Robben played quite well. He was bad with the corners, free kicks and the penalty. But he put alot of people in scoring position and was the most dangerous Bayern player.

Gomez sucked. With a killer guy like drogba, bayern would have won 3:0.
Hope Claudio Pizzarro comes next season.

Yeah, Gomez always seems to fuck shit up in ridiculous ways whenever I see him play. I know people like to hate Robben cos he can be a bit of a cunt with all the diving, but I don't think blaming him is really appropriate here.

Why do people keep comparing this to the Euro 2004, Chelsea has been a top team in Europe for at least 6 years now, even if they aren't usually the first pick favorites to win in whatever they compete at. Greece is just a garbage team that came from nowhere to win in 2004, then disappeared again into nothingness.

Why? Because a team with an incredible fighting spirit shouldn't be winning? Oh, right. Their play style is not your cup of tea. Therefore, they are not worthy winners of CL 2012.

Haven't watched Robben in years. Does he always do corners, penalties and free kicks? I mean he didnt do shit with them. Or it was just a bad night right?

This was a particularly bad night. He used to be good at it last year, he does alot worse these days in general though.

Bayern has been notoriously bad with corners and free kicks for years. I mean those guys don't do anything besides playing football all day and Robben managed to shoot 20 corners and not one of them lead to something like a good opportunity to score a goal. That's just pathetic. Chelsea one the other hand scored with their first corner.
Robben was their first option for penalties all season and he is quite good at it but he sux when the stakes get really high. He couldn't score the penalty vs Dortmund which would at least kept them in the title race and he got really lucky with his penalty vs Real in the regular time and didn't want to shoot in the penalty shoot-out vs Real.
Therefore I didn't understand that he got to shoot the one yesterday, they should have let Gomez take the penalty.

Chelsea going to Finals is like Netherland going to World Cup finals, not because of skill, but more because of luck/good fortune. Netherlands rightfully lost as the lesser team while in this case, Chelsea managed to survive to make it a tie, and then take the game through penalty kicks.....
I really think they should stop deciding the fate of matches on Penalty Kicks for semi-final or final of any tournament

Problem is do what then? Golden goal for 3 hours? First team to have a player die of exhaustion loses?

But luck is a part of the game. That's why football is so beautiful and so fun to watch!

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.
Serie A? Well, at least it was a few years ago.
