The Saturday night, 19th May a day I will cherish every year because its the day when Chelsea created history by winning the Champions League for the first time in the Club history.Chelsea players booked their place in the club history by becoming the first team to win the Champions League.
What a night!It was truly memorable.It was Chelsea against the whole world as everybody wanted Bayern to win the final but Chelsea with their sheer determination proved everybody wrong.The starting line up shocked everybody with the introduction of Bertrand in the starting line up to help Ashley Cole in order to nullify the effect of Robben and both team fighting for Champions League title.
The game started with Bayern controlling the game and Chelsea defending and it was Bayern attacking through Robben and Ribery attacking from the flanks and trying to cause problems for Chelsea.Chelsea were out of sorts in the first few minutes but then looked composed and need Cech to save a fierce shot hit by Robben and he somehow kept it out.
Gomez got a great chance to put Bayern ahead when he shoot way over the bar after beautifully foxed Gary Cahill.Chelsea got close on one occasion when their counterattacking ended with Kalou taking a shot which was saved by Neuer.The first half whistle was a huge sigh of relief for Chelsea players and their fans.
In the second half Chelsea looked more organised and were coming forward and that's was good to see but Bayern were still having the possession and they were threatening.Ashley Cole was great and blocked two of Robben fierce shots which could have resulted in the goal.
Chelsea duo Cahill and Luiz were amazing in defence and were frustating Bayern.Lampard and Mikel were great in their defensive roles and were really cool in every pressure situations,getting timely blocks and winning most of the balls.
Bertrand was protecting the flanks and was doing his job perfectly and Kalou was supporting defensively and was there when Chelsea needed to go forward. Mata was really working hard,always winning the ball and trying to convert in to attack and almost covered a large portion of the ground.
Drogba was there alone fighting for the long balls which was provided by their mates and taking the two central defenders alone.Bayern munich were attacking and paid for their effort when Kroos beautiful pass was headed brilliantly by Muller to put Bayern ahead with seven minutes left.
Chelsea made the immediate change by bringing on Fernando Torres for Kalou and Bayern coach thought he had the match in the pocket and hence replaced Thomas Muller with a defender Daniel Van Buyten.
Bringing Torres was a great move as he was responsible for our equalizer as he was the one who won the corner for us and it was the first and the last corner for us.Mata took the corner and his cross found Drogba who hit a strong header which was unstoppable.
Chelsea got the equalizer and it seemed that this would be Chelsea night.The game went in to the extra time and Drogba nearly turned hero to villian as he brought down Ribery in the box and Bayern got the penalty.Ribery had to go off as he was injured and Robben stepped forward to take the penalty and Cech was up to it and he has done incrediblely well to stop it.
Fernando Torres was looking good and troubling Bayern defence and Bayern were trying to attack to score the decisive goal and they came close in the second extra time when Olic volleys a deep cross to the back post across goal towards his fellow substitute Daniel Van Buyten , but the big centre-back is not on the same wavelength and fails to make any kind of attempt to divert the ball into the back of the net and it was a huge escape for Chelsea.
Then the game headed in to the penalties and five players from each team came forward to take the penalty.From Bayern - Lahm,Gomez,Neuer,Olic, Schweinsteiger and from Chelsea - Mata,Luiz,Lampard,Cole and Drogba.
Lahm converted the penalty to put Bayern ahead but Cech got hand to it.
Mata missed it for Chelsea and it was a good save by Neuer.Bayern lead 1-0.
Gomez succesfully converted the next penalty to put Bayern 2-0 ahead.
Luiz came forward to take the second penalty for Chelsea and converted it beautifully to put open the scoring for Chelsea.
Neuer took the third penalty and converted it and again Cech jumped in the right direction but failed to touch it.Bayern lead 3-1.
Lampard took the third penalty and hit it past Neuer to put Chelsea 2-3.
Olic took the fourth penalty for Bayern and missed it .Cech made a great save to give Chelsea a lifeline.Bayern lead 3-2.
Cole took the fourth penalty and coolly put it past Neuer to bring Chelsea level on 3-3.
Schweinsteiger took the fifth penalty and his shot took the touch of Cech and hit the post and missed and Drogba had the chance to win it for Chelsea.Bayern3-3Chelsea.
Drogba took the decisive penalty and converted it calmly to win it for Chelsea and Chelsea team were celebrating it like hell.Chelsea 4-3 Bayern.
Then it was party time for Chelsea and their supporters and this was the first Champions league title for the whole team except for Paulo Ferreira who won it with Porto also.The new guys like Mata,Meireles have won it in their first season and what an achievement.
Its a great feeling to be a Chelsea fan as we have waited so long for this trophy.Its hard for Bayern players and fans to take it but it was written in the stars that Chelsea will be the new Champions of Europe.
The work done by Di Matteo and his team was great and I hope Roman will give Di Matteo a full time contract as he is the one who changed the club's fortune and won him that trophy which has eluded him for so long.
And I feel our talisman Drogba should get a two year contract for what he has done and he his definitely a big match player.Please Roman keep him and Di Matteo.
And for all you Chelsea fans I would just tell you to salute this Chelsea team who have given their all.Luiz and Cahill was superb despite their injury.Ashley Cole and Bosingwa was great, Lampard, Mikel, Torres, Mata,Bertrand were simply outstanding,Terry,Ramires,Ivanovic and Meireles were superb in earlier rounds and Drogba our Talisman was simply great and Cech our saviour was simply out of this world.Enjoy the moment Chelsea fans it will be hard to forget this incredible moment.
