UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL ... Bayern Munich v Chelsea ... *** Spoilers ***

To be honest I'm not a fan of defensive football but a lot of people are talking some rubbish, Chelsea weren't massively outplayed by Barca or Bayern, their tactic was to concede the ball up till the final third and defend well there, they did this in both games.

There was some luck, there isn't a win in football that doesn't have some luck in it. Chelsea didn't fluke most of the blocks tonight, Lampard was absolutely outstanding, he was everywhere, sometimes tackling, sometimes blocking, sometimes just putting the shooter under pressure, Mikel was also very good.

As for not exciting, sorry but that's BS as well, the Barca/Chelsea and Chelsea/Bayern games were both epic, nothing less, seen awful games with two top teams where neither attack or both pack midfield and neither has many shots at all, those are boring. This was pure entertainment start to finish.

I prefer seeing full on attack vs full on attack, that rarely happens, though I actually think Chelsea could have done just as well doing that tonight. Passing wise, I think Chelsea were actually better, just not sustained, some of the passing out of defence and around midfield, one touch passing, only a few times throughout when they actually looked like they wanted to keep it, was fantastic. Shame they didn't want to attack but that is life.

Chelsea's defence was better than Bayern's and Barca's attack, and Drogba, what a god damned beast of a player.

Only have to continually laugh at everyone who especially early season, but some on here throughout the old season, who went on at length about "old guards" and past it players and Lampard and Drogba being too old. Two of the best players in the champs league and prem league this season, Cech has come back to his best form, and since AVB has gone Cashley, much as I hate him, has been absolutely outstanding.

Well done Chelsea, unlucky Spurs, Ribery and Robben weren't good enough, Kroos.... haven't yet, and don't think I ever will work out why he's rated at all. Muller, great goal, awful manager decision, take off a scorer when he's a part of your build up play and your team is dominating.... NEVER change a key player at an important part of the game, ever, unless absolutely no choice.

Sorry chong warrior but you're just coming off like a sore loser. Absolutely no logic to what your saying. Yes I feel for Spurs, but you can't seriously be suggesting that a team from a lesser league, who has done better than spurs in their league, should have their place taken away from them simply because they play in a lesser league?!

Point was Latvia was just an example, there are pub teams in the qualifiers of the CL.... surely they could introduce something for a winner not even able to qulaify though league position?
 
As a Spurs fan I'm gutted.

Fact is everyone was clear on the rules before the start of the season. I'm more annoyed we gave 3rd place away and left ourselves in this position in the first place.

Congratulations Chelsea, it wasn't pretty but it was a fantastic achievement none the less.

u cant just talk about this season though. they diddnt just upted and bought and constructed this side u see here today in one season.

they have thrown money at this team for years both players, managers and staff.

Not all clubs can do such a thing.

Its the same as city. City only bought 3-4 players this season but those 3-4 players didddnt win them the league, its the otehr 11+ players they bought that did.

Basically, throw as much money in a club as you can for 2-3 seasons and eventually you will win a major trophy. simple as that

So around Liverpool's spending so money doesn't always buy success. I'm talking players, the majority of their squad there have been at CFC for a long time.

I was only messing around :p

But you have to remember that you don't sign players and then pay them with magic beans. Without RA, Chelsea wouldn't be able to afford the wages this squad earn no matter how long ago some of them signed.
