The Chelsea FC is the new European Champion after winning on penalties to Bayern Munich, after both teams empatasen one after the first ninety minutes. The party discoursed by the expected paths. Bayern took the lead from minute one, always keeping possession with an attack-minded, while Chelsea simply defend Drogba accumulation and expect a hunt.
If anyone deserved to win the final that was the Bayern. Capitalized on the possession, generated dozens of attack actions and tried in every way: by combining the interior, focusing on the flanks, reaching baseline, shooting from middle and long distance ... but lacked accuracy and were left few centimeters. Just like Barca.
However, when pressed the clock and nerves and it seemed that both sides signed the tables to get the extension, Thomas Muller caught a center to the far post that cunningly bitten, causing the confusion of a Cech was beaten to the top. Minute 85. Everything seemed ready for judgment: he would win all he had done to merit it. But then came Didier Drogba, the whole force of nature to, in extremis, tie back to the marker.
Drogba was the man in the end. Twice a hero and, in the middle, about to become a villain. Shortly after starting the extension, stupidly escaped one foot with which he caused a penalty on Ribery. But Arjen Robben made Djuckic breathing and, as often happens in these cases, failed to launch. Despite the downturn mood, Bayern still had another great opportunity: an extraordinary left of Van Buyten Olic failed to hole out.
Everything was seen for the statement of the penalties. Lahm, the captain, who had failed in a penalty against Real Madrid, scored the first. A Mata, inexplicably chosen by Di Matteo first shooter, he was such a big responsibility and failed. Mario Gomez and David Luiz scored his and then a surprise: Neuer was asked to pull a third of theirs. And got it right: nailed to a stick. Then came Lampard and did not fail. From here the dramatic turn: Cech made a spectacular paradón Olic, in one of those minority cases where there is more merit in the goalkeeper's fault pitcher. Cole launched the fourth round and tied three. Last penalty for Bayern for Schweinsteiger, responsible for killing the Madrid semifinals. But is not the same throw to win it to stay alive and what was wrong. Momentazo for Drogba: heroic in the semifinals, the final providential in Munich after the goal and about to throw it all away in overtime. A date with history that the Ivorian not let out. He scored the fifth to enlarge his legend and give him his first Champions League Abramovich's Chelsea.
