torres can now say "In your face" to Liverpool fans

Bayern was immense against real madrid.

In the final, IN their own stadium, their tag got them to lose the edge. they were playing, dominating but weren't donig it right. no head. left to to all pretty much ribery & robben to launch ideas, creativity. both were terribly off color in shooting department. mario gomez, muller too were generally average (in light what they could really be as in their semi final into your face RM game)

and this is suppose to be against a chelsea side without 4-6 key players.

Tactically genius? Setting up your team to defend from the start until end?

Chelsea should thank their lucky stars although Bayern's offence were not that clinical yesterday, they pretty much dominated the opposition throughout the entire match.

The moment Drogba equalized, it was all over for them. (That was a superb header btw). One chance, one goal. Sometimes it is all it takes to win a game.

Have to admit feeling bitter that the Russkies won it. Nobody can deny now that money INDEED will buy you sucess.

Wow, so you trust the rebuilding of the team to an unproven man? Chelsea are realistic and I'm sure they will still be out looking for a new manager.

Don't forget that even Avram Grant was so close to winning the league & CL double.

Congratulations to Chelsea. I feel a bit jealous when Chelsea won and bitter when Torres lifted the cup

i don't think Torres will do it

Apparently there's been a protest at the Kop. For the reinstatement of Rafa Benitez.

Any link for the news?

sos..

nope, just word of mouth. small group i suppose. Like the anti-H&G protests, they began small.

Isn't it obvious that we really missed Xabi's creavity in his last season in charge? I don't even understand how you believe selling Alonso to fund for Barry is a good idea. How is that fantasy football when you attempt to replace a player with an inferior one, Xabi never wanted to leave in the first place. It was this decision in my opinion that led to poor showings the following season partly contributing to H&G's dismissal of Rafa. Had he not ended up in 7th place we would still be seeing Rafa today. Going from 2nd to 7th is not because of luck, something very wrong must have been done. Don't misunderstand me, I would rather have a quarter Rafa over a full Houllier. I for one thought the sacking of Rafa was unjustified, he has proven that he is a capable manager, cup specialist and challenging for the title but he himself partly contributed to his own downfall.

Would love to have him back though over lots of the names being thrown around, pretty sure he can do much better with FSG's backing unlike H&G. But FSG seem to want to give the DoF more power, not the type of structure control freaks such as Rafa and Mourinho want to work with. Also it looks like FSG is trying to avoid reappointing another cult figure of the fans the way they appointed Kenny.

EDIT: Liverpool have former manager Rafa Benitez under consideration for the director of football's role.

The Sunday Mirror says Benitez has been approached by Liverpool as their search for a new boss took another twist.

After being snubbed by Swansea’s Brendan Rodgers on Friday, Liverpool have continued their hunt for Kenny Dalglish’s successor by speaking to their former manager.

The Spaniard left Anfield in 2010 before Fenway Sports Group bought Liverpool and they are impressed by his CV.

Benitez has been itching to return since quitting Inter Milan 18 months ago and has long hoped to take over from Dalglish.

why always when defensive team won a game dey always called luck?

chelsea against barca
liv against milan
liv against real
greece against portugal
stoke against liv

isnt tat obvious?

matteo know when to play defensive and when to play offensive..
do dey play defensive against spurs in final fa..

only stupid manager play offensive when the advantage are clearly on opposite site

Congrats to Chelski.

Exactly thought what Di Matteo would do...

7-2-1 with Drogba the main man...what a match winner!

And hope for the best.....penalties

Good one

Sorry, but I feel he was just a passenger in that team.. Drogba almost single handed lt carry the whole team.

Agreee...he was lucky to be a sub-par passsenger...thats all....nothing special

he would be able to say that IF he had a hand in the proceedings...which was not the case

Somebody is a bit bitter today

That was reply to "in yer face"..look at context....nothing bitter.
But Drogba was immense............
