Perhaps they didn't play the best football of all, but for once Football was fair. After all the unbelievable misfortunes Chelsea had to suffer in Champions League these past years, especially 3 years ago when Barça and Ovrebo robbed them with impunity, after €1000 million spent to built a team and after 7 managers signed and fired since the Abramovich age started, Chelsea finally won the Champions League. Congratulations.

And, funnily, they did it with what's probably the worst squad they've had in all these years but with Drogba, the man of the CL this year. More deserving of the Ballon d'Or than others with a bigger name..

As for Bayern, well, no club ever won this cup having hosted the final and no club ever won this cup after getting qualified to the final thanks to the penalty shoot-out. Some players were terrified, only that would explain that Neuer were one of the designated takers. Too many expectations and too much pressure...
Sorry, Gypsy. Bayern and English clubs in CL finals are a terrible mix for German interests :/
