Terrible.

Any team conceding goals from corners because they have no one at the post get no pity from me...

Too offensive minded as well. Not putting players on the line feels like something you'd do to hit harder on the counter-attack, but Benfica should have been thinking of just surviving first.

All the Benfica players went forward, it looks like they were trying to counterattack or they didn't think Chelsea would shoot immediately and they could catch someone offsides.
BTW Rafa and any future Chelsea manager never play Ramires as a winger >______>

We did have a guy at the post, he wrongly assumed that the ball wouldn't be headed towards goal and would instead be assisted to someone else so he ran forward to set up an offside trap. That was probably Gaitan, who doesn't have experience at LB and was playing in that position later in the game.

Maybe, because that one guy standing on the line moves forward after the shot. God if that guy had stayed on his place... so sad.

He would have saved that header ezpz if he stood his ground. Looks like Moraes(?) expected him to be there, but he snarfed as well. Ivan getting the ball on goal wherever was always going to be devastating with that positioning. Just too offensive-minded from the guys who ran forward. What a disaster.
Guttmann curse continues.

I like how everyone on Chelsea has their uniform on except Ba and Hazard.

Doesn't matter dudes, look at where the ball went, player or no player only with a ridiculous bicycle shot could someone prevented that.
*it's the dude's that marking ivanovic fault, he didn't even jump,lol

Sucks to be a Benfica fan right now. We also lost to Porto on a goal scored at 90+2.

i dont even know who won the last super cup so thats how important it seems to be...on the topic though i think chelsea would lose with at least 3-4 goals difference against either of the cl finalists. chelsea was the worse team in the final two years in a row but somehow lucked themselves to a title again...im baffled

fml, i overslept T_T
Yay chelsea!!! Would love to see a rematch for the super cup now
edit: @post above me. luck is part of football

They aren't gonna be this weak when they have Mourinho, and when they have all their players back from loan+any new signings.

i think they have a terribly weak and onedimensional squad...they played very similar to last year although not that passive i give you that. still as a neutral fan i just find them very unsatisfying to watch and somehow still winning with their playstyle...mourinho isnt who he used to be

GG Chelsea.
Now if the money from the Europa League wasn't so pathetic that would be great too.

I dunno...if he says on the post, he's keeping everyone onside, which can also be horrible. He has no idea where the ball is gonna go after it comes down, what if it's centered and finished by someone he kept onside? It's the kind of thing that is just part of the strategy they've planned for corners.
If anything, I think the keeper played it poorly. He overcommits to the near post when Ivanovic's only legit option is the far post top corner. The Benfica defenders have the near post/low options more or less covered.
That said, I think it's just a really well executed set piece from Chelsea. I think that you praise Chelsea, not slam Benfica for that play.

So pleased for Chelsea, happy for Benitez because I always thought he deserved more respect and I always liked him. So unhappy for Benfica, they really deserved something from the season. They played a great first half especially.
