This champs league was ridiculous.. Chelsea scraped past napoli, benfica, barca and bayern and won the bloody thing. They were outplayed by all of the above and won.. They played with 10 men behind the ball playing really negative football, and won..
Hardly the best team in europe, not even top 5, but champs none the less. As a die hard football fan.. This win left a bad taste..
Being an Arsenal fan I used to get really uptight when 'we' lost having played the "better" football. Came to realise that at the end of the day it's a team's right to claim success within the bounds of the rules, no matter how that's achieved. If a team is setting out to defend closely and snatch a win, its up to the better team to break them down, if they can't, then maybe they're not the better team at football. They may be the better team at entertaining or whatever, but entertainment doesn't win trophies at the end of the season.
