It was just going to happen... i knew they was going to win it was destiny.. if chelsea would of conceded a goal in the last minute they would of scored straight after.
it did seem like teir name was always on the trophy.. as much as i dislike chelsea its nice to see the germans lose on pens for a change.. drogba was immense
Bayern v. Inter was a lot worse. I hate Chelsea but I found myself rooting for them anyway. It's great to see an English team win and they were clear underdogs. It was a nail biter at times and the 80th minute and extra time was really exciting. Well deserved win for making it to the final even though they weren't the best side for the last 3 rounds.
They didn't play as defensive as when they played barca. Bayern's mistake was taking muller out, if this wouldn't have happened, bayern would have still been dangerous even without ribery.
@Kulka - oh shutup, you want to see another instead chelsea huh.. fact that we smashed the double away from yall - I hope liverpool dont ever get Ucl futbol - especially the 80$ Million on your ovverated english players
@kulka and a liverpool fan is bitter when daved luiz has scored probably way more than carrot head carrol - and torres too - your jealousy doesnt help - good luck with next season because we got alot of tournment prizes in mind
Well done! Even though we might not get along I know this means a lot to you. I would much rather see an English team win no matter what the club. (well.. maybe not Liverpool)
They did what they had to do to win it. Yeah the defensive style is not as exciting but with most of their back line out with suspensions, they had to make up for it somehow.
Didn't see the match, but congrats to chelsea. I expect bayern to win this since they were playing at home... SMH, pretty bad way to lose it can't get better than playing at home and having your fans backing you up.
Years from now we are going to remember this legendary season, thinking about the Camp Nou miracle or the final in enemy territory, all that drama,... As a neutral fan in that final, I was delighted.Happy for drogba, finally getting the succes He deserved all those years.
Gotta feel sorry for Robben thought, missing 2 brekaways in world cup final and now that penalty.He didn't even wanted to take a penalty in the shootout after that.
Enemy territory for them,maybe? They were at the home of their opponent,as far as I know. What's the problem then :)? Did you really create an accoount just to say that? LOL
Both teams played cautiously with the action only picking up in the second half. The play overall was somewhat disappointing until the two goals and the penalties. But kudos to Chelsea for winning against bayern in their back yard. It seems chelsea will definitely need drogba next season if they are to get any where near what they achieved this season.
What a fucking game. Chelsea dont deserve it. Thats such a unattractive type of playing football and also a shame for the european football. But Bayern had a lot of chances...so...
I feel sorry for Schweinsteiger and Lahm 06: 3rd FWC 08: 2nd UE 10: 2nd with Bayern CL and 3rd with Germany FWC 12: 2nd CL
it was a great final nothing less i am a madrid fan and iwould say both teams deserved the cup but since the winner is only a one team . if it was bayern i will be happy if it was i will be happy both teams proved that they can produce congrats to both and come on chelsea
Bayern really is average, they cannot create good chances at all, they just possess the ball and do crappy things with it. No wonder Dortmund kicks their butt every year.
I'm not a Chelsea fan, but no way did Bayern deserve anything.
And Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery are fools gold. Look good but don't produce a worth.
Congrats to Chelsea. This trophy also put them into the CL next season and a shot at two more trophies (supercup, fifa club cup)
Chelsea were awful all game, stats say it all. Get one good chance and they took it. Robben and Gomez choked so bad they had the trophy on a silver platter waiting for them and screw it badly.
Most people would agree with me on the statement that Chelsea overachieved this season. They scrapped by Barca and now Bayern. Once Didier scored the header I knew that Chelsea were going to win this. Why oh why did they take off Muller, put Bayern completely off when they did.
Screw the stats, people think the only side of football is attacking. Theres great defensive displays as well like Chelseas against Barca with a make shift defence. And you say that display is called scrapping by? Did you even watch that game? It was probably one of the best defensive performances by a team in history. Fair play to Chelsea, give credit where credit is due.
Liverpool scraped by Chelsea in 05 and they scraped by Milan in the final. You wouldnt say Liverpool didnt deserve it in 05 but Chelsea did more this year than you ever did in 05
Liverpool overachieved the season Milan gave Liverpool the trophy. Remember all of Liverpool's lucky comebacks? They should have been in the Uefa Cup but Gerrard got that lucky goal against Olympiacos.
I was freaking biting my nails int he Penalties, such a tight game.
Bayern had way more chances to score than Chelsea & Bayern also played better than Chelsea throughout the game. It was sad to see them lose such a well played game in Penalties.
Anyway well played Bayern & Congratulation Chelsea on a league well won.
the team that wins deserves to win end of discussion if you cant score from the amount of chances they had then you dont deserve to win anything i would rather take 1 chance 1 goal then 20 chances 1 goal any day.
and those saying chelsea played boring haha be quiet. they played effective football dont like it dont watch the sport some people find the whole im going to pass 500 times around midfield before i even start to go forward some of the most boring stuff they have ever seen.
barcelona only do it because they have messi take him out and they look shadow of a side that doesnt know how to put the ball in the box as just look at the games against chelsea messi wasnt turning up and barcelona could do nothing except keep the ball which amounted to fuck all.
Bayern tbh im surprised they got this far and yet dortmund who destroyed them in the cup and league didnt get further.
Delighted for Chelsea and especially for Di Matteo. After the season they have had and the way he has rallied them I think they deserve it. Heart was in my mouth the whole game. Congrats Chelsea.
All the people saying, ''blah blah blah football lost'' etc, who decided that attacking was more important than defending? Is it written into Uefa rules or something? Bayern missed those chances because of great defending, Cole especially blocked off nearly everything and always put pressure on Robben once he forced him inside. To be honest, Chelsea over the years have been great and deserve at least one champions league victory. Mario gomez was invisible, like he has been vs Dortmund :/
chelsea deserved to win it. bayern were at home ffs! and their best player gomez did nothing, robben was average and he missed a pen. simply bayern didnt do enough to win. chelsea defended good and scored a goal so i dont see the problem.
If Chelsea deserved any game, it was the last one. The Germans simply missed so many shots, and couldn't defend well when they had the lead. Congrats to Chelsea, even though I don't like them at all, their style of football was ugly, but effective. They play well in CL, I just think they had this win coming, now lets see how they do next year in CL ;)
It was just going to happen... i knew they was going to win it was destiny.. if chelsea would of conceded a goal in the last minute they would of scored straight after.
Unlucky Bayern
Well done Chelsea!! First London club to win a European cup. Proud to be English!
And this is from a die hard Man Utd fan. Well Done! Done English football proud!
Probably the most undesereved Champions League win ever, but hey atlesst an English team won it.
Feel sorry for Tottenham though.
Worst Cl final I have ever seen. Bayern were so predictable for most of the game you really expect more from the home side.
