What an amazing match, seriously. One of the best matches I have ever seen.

Unlucky Bayern but happy for Chelsea.

greatest day of my life. unbelievable. love all you players. drogba what a legend. same with lampard. and jt lifting the cup. petr cech penalty hero. get in there. i am out of alcohol. wow what a feeling. <3 chelsea. yes.
and tot get kicked out of the champs league next year. even better. simply amazing. get in there, you blues.

Life long Manchester United fan but I still found myself cheering for Chelsea on this one. Nice result. Great end to Drogba's time at Chelsea (likely) and an English team spanks a German one at penalty kicks. Well done blues!

We've waited so long but we'd wait forever.

3 times I thought this game was over for Chelsea:

- when Müller finally scored after 82 minutes
- when Drogba tripped Ribery in overtime
- penalties... maybe someone here has the exact statistics, but when did a German team ever lose after penalties?

The win was not as undeserved as most people think imo, Bayern just wasted way too many chances during the regular game time.

chelsea would take the penalties like 2 out of 3 times imo cause of chech

Was a cracking game and Chelsea deserved to win it , well done Chelsea .

and this from a spurs fan.

Why exactly did chelsea deserve to win it? Was probably the worst teamperformance i've seen for years on this level. I remember times, where they actually played brilliant football.
This really got me thinking back to the day when Greece won the Euro Championship. Same tactics, but they had a team of nobodies instead of those excellent players Chelsea got. Hope Chelsea is not taking the same direction as Greece did ;-)

hey watch it pal im from greece

Whats more important, great performance, or the win. Yes we rode our luck and on chances they should have won but it is a knockout competition and not the season. We know we cant play this way in the league as it will never work, but we recognised that barca and bayern munich had better attacking teams and we did what we thought we had to do to stay in the game.
I take the trophies all day long rather than saying we played great football but lost 4-3.
Ask the west ham fans whether they still hate sam allardyce for changing the way they play football, now...

hehe, glad you took it the right way.

and that's exactly what I ment. It's like a fish at the table playing horrible, drops a few buyins, wins 89s vs KK and posts that he deserved to win it. He didn't deserve to win it, neither did the oponent (but in my eyes a lot more than the tilting fish).

well lets see:

chelsea just playes defensive football right now waiting for good spots to reattack and has the perfect players to do so (drogba etc) also has a very good defense with terry etc.

bayern plays good football but has the most useless striker imo gomez who needs 10 opportunities in front of the goal post to score. chelsea also has one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

i wouldn't call them fishes outdrawing KK exactly. they just play italian like defensive football especially against teams like barcelona etc and whats wrong with that?

I got nothing against defensive play, but they just didn't play at all. It was more like kick and rush whenever they had the ball. The defense constistet out of 9 players plus a confused Drogba. Lampard used to be such a great midfielder with so much creativity and overview. Mata didn't even happen once...
