Chelsea FC European Champions 2012

Well it looks like all of that pressure got to Bayern.  Chelsea were playing a very, very defensive game and soaked up the pressure applied by Bayern.  Bayern had so many corners and so many chances but they just couldn't finish. Eventually Thomas Müller put it past Cech and I think every Chelsea fan thought "that was it".

Then, who else but Didier Drogba with a bullet of a header! Game on we thought and then, Drogs gave away a crazy penalty as Ribery goes down in the box. As fate would have it, Robben then had a shocker 2 minutes and Cech saved the penalty. This really wasn't going to be Bayerns night.

Then it came to penalties, the commentators came out with the normal stereotypical comments about "German penalties". Mata missed the first one (Chelsea hearts sank thinking of Moscow). Then Ivica Olic missed his chance and all square with Schweinsteiger and Drogba to go.

A terrible Terry-Moscow moment hit Schweinsteiger who just wanted to be swallowed up by the ground leaving Drogs to score the winner. You couldn't write a story like this one . . .

Not pretty but hey, Chelsea won with the tactics that worked for them and we went to the Victory parade up in London on the following day. An amazing experience - wonderful atmosphere . . . .

Check out the video of the parade . .
