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.

The Bayern finishing was abysmal, I don't know how they got to the final with finishing like this. Robben and Ribery have scored great goals in the past but I often seen them hit wild shots more often than not over the years. I've always thought of Mario Gomez as a lumbering CF and can't believe that he's scored like 40+ goals this season. Last night he played like the Mario Gomez that I usually see. He also reminds me of the Italian CF Toni who has a similiar style and build and equally useless in front of goal in those really big matches, out of interest Toni played for Bayern a few years ago and also scored around 30-40 goals in one season.
