    Yes and Bayern Missing the pen was Chavs Mental Strength tbh. Nothing to do with how lucky they were.

    Indeed, it's not even like with their ridiculous resources these teams were running away with things or annihilating the competition. They're ultimately lucky fuckers too!

    Messi misses a pen in the Semi final against them

    Robben misses a pen in the final against them if them winning it is not luck then football is really shit.

    Biggest fluke in CL history.

    Can't believe it. They're the 6th best team in this country FFS. As funny as it is to see Spurs miss out, I do actually feel for them. A little.

    Might cut myself later. FML.

    Winning the CL is not about being the best team in your country, ever since it changed from winners only qualifying. It's just a big European cup competition, and like all cup comps luck plays its part too, however distastefully.

    I know it hurts now. But - and I know it's hard to imagine right now - one day, we're going to look back on this, and we're going to cut ourselves. Think it might be tomorrow.

    People are also going a bit over board with the money thing as well. Bayern are a well run club that have used money earned from success, yet they almost beat Chelsea, messed it up for themselves and were edged out on penalties, which are always a lottery.

    It's not money that's the simple factor here, lets face it Chavs have a mean defence, not quite as good as mourinho's but still well organized and decent, I knew just like Barca that if Bayern didn't take their chances there would always be a spammy goal/win for the Chavs after parking the bus.

    You should all man up and watch Nadal v Djokovic tomorrow to see pure, competitive, scum-free sport of the highest order.

    Tennis .

    Football .

    As a great woman once said, it will change your life.
