I've not seen a team as lucky as this Chelsea team. Against Barca, they parked the bus in front of the goal and defended for their lives. Barca missed a penalty. Hit the woodwork and missed many chances. All of that was repeated in the final.

Chelsea 2012 and Liverpool 2005 both rode their luck and both won, I know its hard for you Liverpool fans but dont be bitter about Chelsea

Chelsea had many first teamers missing from this one...had they have had Ramires, Ivanovic, Meireles etc they wouldnt have to defend so much

Dont get me started on the luck Man Utd have had in their finals...
............................
Man utd chelsea, reality was even with all the luck chelsea had to be in with a kick away to winning it was crazy. We really should have been 3-0 up, it was like a perfect 1st half, chelsea did not even have a sniff then bang essien shot i berlieve 40yds out takes a deflection bounces for lampard defender slips and van der saar does and its 1-1 on half time. Chelsea did the same today but won it on pens instead.

in 1999 man utd were not lucky, I have the whole game and bayern weren;t as superior as people think, man utd missed 5 guilt edged chances before scoring those 2 chances at the end. Nearly ever few mins we missed great chances in last 20 mins.

Zabi,
You clearly didn't watch the full matches that you are refering to, if you think that Chelsea ONLY won because of luck..
In the Barcelona game you seem to forget about the fantastic, heroic defending of ten men against the "best team in world football". And the sublime Ramires goal, oh yeah and Torres cool finish...
When did a stout defence and tactical nouse become "parking the bus"?

Liverpool in 05 were just as lucky as Utd in 99

We dominated the 2nd half.
Did you fook,Milan battered you once it got to 3-3.
