Barring Robben's penalty in extra time, I think I counted barely 2 or 3 shots on target than Bayern Munich had. Bearing in mind that they had 30+ shots off target, that's absolutely abysmal. True, Ribery and Robben were well-marshalled by the Chelsea backline, but on last night's evidence I really don't know how Mario Gomes has scored 40-odd goals this season. He was absolutely awful.
Chelski took their chances better, defended better and displayed better teamwork. They deserved to win as far as I'm concerned. After all, possession isn't all it takes to win matches. If it did, Wigan would be competing in the champion's league next season.
I'm no Blues fan, but I'm happy for them, more so because they toppled the media darlings Barcelona - hopefully people will stop jumping on that bandwagon now. I doubt it though.
