nateevs: Away from the game being a spectacle or not. Please share your moments at points during the game.

When Schweini lost his pen. . . I just kept screaming I can't believe we are going to win it.
I grabbed my fellow Chelsea fan screaming we are going to win it. I cannot believe it.

And I watched as Drogba sent the keeper the wrong way, I had never screamed that much in my life.
I was trembling. I had to calm myself down. . .

Glorious night.

the positive for me was mikel obi's discipline.
he was a beast! he won all his tackles. sprayed the balls here and there
and he constituted a nuisance to bayern munich.

ashley cole is a ball magnet....couldn't count the number of blocks
he made. di matteo's plan worked to the t. brought on torres when
bayern took the lead. bayern took out muller after taking the lead.

congrats chelsea, you did england proud!

medjai: Of course, there's anti - football.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-football

Ten bricklayers could have duplicated Chelsea's drudgery - no much football skills required.

You know there's that part of football that actually requires you to come out and attack. Do you think Bayern or Barca don't know how to park the bus too? Of course, they can pack their box with all their players, sit back and defend with two rows of 5. It doesn't require any skill.

I doubt Bayern or Barcelona could have duplicated Chelsea's tactics.
You simply don't have the defensive players and discipline to carry it out and see it through. That IMO is a skill set in itself.
If all teams did was attack we probably end up having cricket scores every game which i'm sure no one wants.

If you hate "Anti Football" you are better off not watching Euro 2012 because you will it them in abundance.
I know as a neutral is not fun to watch. But that is football, teams have to make do with the limited resources they have at their disposal.

Bluediva just enjoy the moment and do not overstate it.
We won on penalties and were worse than Stoke in the 120mins.

I'ld appreciate you saying we'll take the win as it's wrtten in history forever.
It was hardly a spectacle upon which the future can built.

Let's always maintain perspective when stating things.
When the euphoria of victory wears, we'll take stock and make sound decisions.

It can only be an ingrate that would state the above!
WTf!


Why dont you take the cup and give it to Napoli or Barca?

How can you dare to take anything from those guys who gave sweat and blood?

I'D like you to try and run up and and down the pitch for 20 min?

If we were worse than stoke, please explain to me why Bayern are not champions?

Genius?

Congrats to all Chelsea fans. What a way for some of the old guard who have served us so well over the last 9 years to sign out. Oh! how I wish Ricardo Carvalho and Ballack were in yesterdays team. There couldn't have been a fitting end, to their Chelsea careers. But not to get carried way, rebuild we must, alongside a transition to a less-mechanical playing style whilst falling in to line just in time for UEFA's FFP. The coming weeks will be interesting and I expect tough decisions to be made. In the meantime, congrats to all blues fans as we savour this one.

The morning after is still sweeter. . .

It really doesn't matter anymore.
Now we can decide to clear out the squad and bring in new players and go trophyless for 4 seasons as long as we have won the ever elusive Champions league.

Drogba can choose to go to China, Lamps can go to the US.
They have won it all with Chelsea.

Yes, it's obvious money buys you every damn thing.
Thanks to Roman for making all this possible.

We can now stand among the elite group of clubs who are UCL winners.

Pretty doesn't always win it, sometimes dirt and ruggedness does it.
We did it the CHELSEA WAY.


PS: My heart goes out to our friend Dayokanu who right now is in intensive care unit due to cardiac arrest.
Get well soon bro, we need to see you back on this thread. We are excpecting your congratulatory message.

Wow what a heartbreaking game. Chelsea were simply destined to win it. The game vs Napoli, Barca and now Bayern points to an unseen hand of destiny,

No one can tell how Chelsea would beat Barca with 4 attacks in 180mins

Or how do you explain that Bayern played 20 corners and Chelsea played 1 yet scored the only one?

How do you explain that Bayern scored in 83rd min and Chelsea equalized on the 88min

How do you explain Robben missing a penalty in extra time, or the gazillion chances we missed.

How do you explain that a German team loses in a Penalty shootout or that Cech who isnt great at Penalties guessed right for all Bayerns penalties.

HEARTBREAKING

Chelsea came into the game with a plan and stuck to it

Despite my utter disgust and disappointment , I cant help but congratulate the great Didier Drogba. Who now has achieved it all

The villain in Moscow when he slapped Vidic, the villain in 2009 with the Ovbredo saga

The much maligned old players who many thought would never achieve anything The Lampards, Drogba, Cech and Cole were the ones who came out big today and not the newbie

Congrats Chelsea.

As a Bayern fan How I wished it was a AVB coached team we played today. Losing 2 finals in 3yrs is painful

Essien seized his opportunity to rumba

Anti football or Uncle football. None of that matters now. Defence, Discipline, D'Cech, Didier, Di Matteo, and The Good God gave use the day.

It' wasn't even as resolute as what we did against Barca, here we just were not able to get things going early as Bayern rushed at us from the blast. So what was Chelsea supposed to do?

chelsea chelsea chelsea,,,,,,,chelsea chelsea chelsea.... I love d song ......... All d cows ar in trouble 2day

Up chelsea.
I simply do not agree with this "anti-football" comments. Bayern had their chances, but they failed to deliver.

If they had scored at least 3 of of those chances, we will not have heard anything about "anti-football"...

CONGRATS TO CHELSEA

Well I believe that I have always watched u guys do ur tin
From d side lines but dat doesn't mean none of u here are a bigger
Supporter of dis great team dan myself, I was almst in tears wen mullar scored ystday
And couldn't celebrate wen DD scored dat header
I predicted lampard comin 2 salvage d penalities 4 us and was amazed by Luiz best kick
4 d nite den I Strongly predicted swanstinger hittin d bar (source were d gallizon of chelsea fans arund me)
Which he did and wen drogba stepped up 2 take d kick - I knew we were champions


I congratulate myslf, d chelsea fans in dis thread kip doin ur tin
D players of d nite esp ashley and DD and mikel
But please please malouda and bosingwa nids 2 pack their bags today and leave 4 gud
What I can't understand is how both of dem are at d front lines celebratin wen dey didn't contribute an atom of notin 2 d match

Anyway 4 DD case - I'm speechless, I tink we nid 2 release him now - we nid 2 build anoda striker who wud be here wit us for anoda 8-9yrs - torres isn't d key 4 us as I strongly doubt we would have a complete striker who defends deeps, scores with both legs and head and uses his chest power - lukaku isn't dat player neida is toress -d search shud be on if possible on DD recommendation.

A statue shud be put up in frnt of stamford bridge of DD - no other player among dat crop of players is a legend in d making - where is dat silly AVB - bet he's chewin his fingers now
And why did mata miss his kick is beyond me - I wantd bayern 2 stat d penalties so d pressure wud b on dem and it so was - Lahm is now so matured and a better player - please essien nids 2 leave too
Sturrige back on loan - I fear we would miss DD for anoda 3yrs before we get it right once again shud be leave

190 wishes all chelsea fans in this thread except dayokanu all d best with their lives and future endevours includin our beloved team

U may now go back 2 doin ur tin - while I watch frm d side lines

And lastly RDM shudnt be retained bt rada be put up as a sportin director up there
Since we need a new team - we mite as well need a new manager like capello or guradiola just my 2cent

Well said 190. This Cup is the break Chelsea need to do the much needed overhauling.
It next season's target should just be top 4 + any cup if possible.
We need to arrange a mass testimonial for some players if they wanna leave. The board should stick with the 1 year contract being offered Drogba & other over the age 31 players.
I'm not so sure about Di Matteo going a whole season, but for the victory I will say he should be kept on & at the same Salary. No contract whatsoever for him so if he gets found out we can easily get get him out.
He can lead the evolution as we start from scratch.
Torres should lead the line next season as he has nothing to prove he should be more settled. Plus the fact that he isn't going to the Euros so he will be super fresh for the season.
Lukaku should get more games next season. Mata needs to eat some more fufu as he is super lightweight on the ball & easy to bully.
Cahill was immense last nite & even Eratic Luiz kept his cool most times
I wonder how them hamstrings are now.

@ Medjai, When d useless Ovrebo ,Ur team called Barca plus UEFA robbed Us few years back we no hear Anti-Football o!! Abeg,go look bush make u dance Azonto wit monkeys. Meanwhile,wat rubbish is lateef talkin about again? Ur deluded coach(AVB) wit all d available tools won't do nada. Please, give credit to RDM plus our mechanical team for once,plus wat do U expect of d players? My friend win na win and if u no like d way we win dis match Ogbeni, U can start supporting arsenal or swansea next season for pretty,sexy and attractive footie.

Who the 4uck is this?
Dude! I am not sure you screamed more than I did yesterday.

However, in the midst of the euphoria, some of us can still stay calm enough to have an insight.
We won the UCL. It's written in history forever. No one can take that away and how we won it will not be remembered in 48hrs.

That said, it's time to build on from here. To be regarded as a true great, we need to win more and to win more, we need a re-build and the analysis begins from yesterday night's game. And I repeat, it was not a spectacle. It's not a case of taking anything away from anyone.


This is one of those cases where, it was bound to happen. Barcelona on another day, would have been 4-0 up at SB. Bayern could have been 4-0 up in the first half alone. What are the chances of Messi, and Robben missing penalties in successive games? Cech is not a penalty GK but he touched all 5 of the 6 penalty kicks against us. What are the chances. We had only one corner kick all game, we had only one shot on goal in first half and 3 shots on goal in 120 mins. It defies all odds that we won the CL. We shouldn't (and I am not ashamed to say that) but we did.

My point is, we have to step up from here and we cannot do so by playing the way we played against Barcelona and Bayern every season. You cannot build a philosophy on that. You can only win 'one' trophy in an awkward way in an awkward season. To win more trophies, there needs to be a rapid and total overhaul of philosophy.


We have a very big season ahead.

Pre-Season, Community Shield, Premier League, FA Cup, Carling Cup, Super Cup, World Club Championship and Champions League and don't forget we need to qualify for top four to meet the CL again which sustains our massive wages. You cannot do this without being realistic. Last night's game defines history but only has a little bearing on the future. Nottingham Forest have won the CL too.

The next season and beyond could easily be a disaster. We cannot afford to be sentimental about last night.

------------------------------------------


For now, have a drink and enjoy the moment.
We won a CL before Arsenal and we knocked Spurs out of the CL.
I'll like to imagine what they think about Ashley Cole now.

Dude, STFU.

Perhaps you should read your earlier post again, you sounded like an Arsenal fan trying to downgrade a very successfully display by comparing us to 'stoke' and saying it was not a 'spectacle'.

What else do you want? To Play spectacular and to lose?

A season where everyone underestimated the team, yet they still won two finals.

'It defies all odds that we won the CL. We shouldn't (and I am not ashamed to say that) but we did'.

^ What kind of fan says the above? We shouldn't?

I repeat, why dont you take the cup and give it to a spectacular team since you imply that we shouldn't have won it!

Let's celebrate while we can.
You don't win the CL every season.

Anybody going to the parade?

Now that RA has seen his wish come to reality, will he still be passionate about the club?
Billionaires can be eccentric sometimes.

Still euphoric. . .

Oluwa was definitely involved last night. You kinda knew that after Robben's miss
