Depends on the TV coverage (I know Russia gets quite a bit of money from it), but yeah it isn't as high as it should be IMO. Still a classy tournament and you can see that the fans/players care.

But who doesn't like money? Everyone likes more money
So Chelsea went from being the first ever defending CL champion to drop out at the group to this triumph of will, so proud of them.

Fun fact: For the next 10 days, Fernando Torres is a reigning World Cup, European Championship, Champions League and Europa League winner.

CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE !!! WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE!!! CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!! WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE!!!

Fucking get in! Such slow start to the game by Chelsea, but Benfica were trying to pass it in, really need to try and work Cech which is pretty poor. But defo Benfica were best in 1st half.
Then finally in the 2nd half Chelsea dug in, started to close down the Benfica players and pounced! Great goal by Torres (poor defending of course) and it looked like we could score more after Jesus made some crazy subs. Playing Gaiten LB? WTF. But they got a penalty which was right and Cardoza hammered it past Cech!
Then i thought fuck this is going extra time written all over it again FUCK!! Then Lampard nearly made me scream the house down with that boomer, holy shit! Would of been some goal that.
But after getting our corner where Chelsea are ALWAYS dangerous with Luiz/Ivanovic/Cahill and JT if he is on the pitch, get a good delivery in (but some poor marking from Benfica too) and Ivanovic scores a header worthy of winning the cup!

GET IN!! Double Champions of Europe in 2 years NICE!!!!
Holding both titles for another 10days as well! EVEN BETTER

Yeah my Benfica mate came round to watch the game with me and i said the same to him. Both Chelsea and Benfica played good solid teams for every game after dropping into the competition from the Champions League and look where it got them. To a major final, something for their fans and club to celebrate. Might not be the top competition in Europe but it does give you a shot at beating the champions league winners the following summer

BRING ON THE GERMANS!!!

Also if it is Bayern who win...Possible Mourinho vs Pep in the Super Cup ^_^

It's a great tournament because it gives teams that are too small for the UCL a chance to compete for a meaningful European trophy.

According to Wikipedia Chelsea get 5m euros for winning (plus all the money for the previous rounds), and Benfica get 2.5m euros. That's not a bad payout.

Indeed he is but I guess people tend to hate on Fernando for no reason and say he is a bad player, amazing feat, the both of them. I think there is only one season he (Torres) has scored more goals than this one but I'm not sure.

Anyway, BANE MY CAPTAIN <3 what a player, they screwed him out of a european final last year but he came back to fuck shit up

The problem with Torres is that he was the shit in atletico and people had such high expectations of him which he crushed without remorse, lol.
Now even if he does something nice like today's goal or last year's vs barca people see him as the retarded guy in math class who can only get the right answer by accident.
My dick has shrunk to the point where it looks like I have 3 balls.

hahahahaahahaha I love this. Just to make sure everyone knows :D

On Torres...I really don't think he's worth anything like 50 million, but he does actually work quite hard and he gets some bad breaks, he has more than a little bit of skill. I would value him around 15 million I think, he can definitely perform but he is no Van Persie or Suarez is he! Incidentally I think his better position would be playing off another striker or even as a 'trequartista' attacking midfielder.

I would still rather keep him although if another striker turned up and another club made a legit offer, perhaps letting him go would make sense. If we continue to play with 3 attacking mids, it's going to be unlikely we will play with 2 strikers. But if we do, 4 strikers in the squad makes sense. Like I say I'd happily take Wilfried Bony plus the other 3 (including Lukaku) so we can play Man City style, but if we get Falcao/Cavani maybe it would be better to have 3 strikers so they don't get too bothered ego-wise.

Any reason why there was 4,000 empty seats btw? Was it due to UEFA healthy and safety rules? Or did the touts not sell enough ?

Poor Benfica, but they had to take their chances in the first half. They looked so tired in the last 15 minutes, I doubt they would have made it in extra time.
