Champions League Final | Post-Match Thread

[Damanino]

CL is so tricky. you need to be at your best all the way, maybe 1-2 mistakes in early group games can be corrected but after that you need to be on top until the end.

finally this season everything clicked, really commanding knockout games after years of Lyon, Spurs, Monaco lesser clubs throwing us out, and then in the final a very well drilled club who were not close to us in PL at all (mainly due to Lampard tho) is beating us with us having 1 shot on target.

no way to know if we have another CL final in next 5 years lets say. maybe yes maybe no.
Chelsea waited 9 years to get another since 2012. Liverpool even more after they lost in 2007. United will wait another 20 lol since their loss in 2011.
these finals aint coming that often unless you Real M...

lot of thing need to click for CL finals injury wise, referee wise, luck wise, being on form at the right time , having the correct mentality on big stage etc.
I hate this that bookies always puts us as favourites against Monaco, Liverpool, Spurs, Lyon and now Chelsea and every time we did not win.

this year was meant to be different due to it seemed everything clicked for knockout games, winning 6 games in a row vs Monchengladbach, Dortmund, PSG.and then this final which we messed up big time. why ? :(

The whole team played poor because Sterling was selected?

The team clearly looked out of sorts and springing a new formation for the CL final didn't help. Ferdi should have been on not Sterling.

 

[Keeper!]

chelsea was better on the night and that what counts
pep will drill the pain of losing in the players next time and a easy team talk ? you like that taste of losing well go and show me you don't

like after the Lyon debacle?

They barely made it into the top 4.

You don't think the £££millions they'll get for winning this will not be used to strengthen them? Interesting.!

 

[Vicious111]

Fuck off you dick
Tuchel will NEVER win a premier league while pep is here!
He’ll last two years if he is lucky like every other Chelsea manager and be forgotten like their other managers
I’d get rid of every single player before pep
Well never have it as good

don't talk shite. The guy has won the CL with academy players. Not to mention the millions they just won will be spent on improving their squad.

That 1 player upset the balance of the team and did piss all this season to warrant a start in the final

Sterling? You're right. I have been saying on here for 6 months he's been garbage - and then he turns up tonight and in the 1st half was the only player that looked like he was going to do something. The manager picks the team. Not the other way around.

 

[Bluescholar]

Says a lot doesn't.

No, it says anyone can losr if they don't play well

At the end of the day we got to the final for the first time in our history so we now know how to get there a few tweaks in personnel hear and there and we will get over the line and win it it’s inevitable!

yeah sell sterling

Sorry, but the ref had nothing to do with our lineup tonight. In other crucial matches, Pep's come with some curious team selections & formations, when that ref was nowhere near. What was Pep's excuse then?

What happened tonight is exactly what many of us feared. Chelsea treated us with respect, we took the piss & got what we deserved. Nothing! That was ALL on Pep! :-(

The body check on Kev - endangering an opponent ?

But they beat us to a crown we all dream of possessing, perhaps that now irrelevant until next season.

I don't dream of winning it. It would be nice to win it and I think we will but the Premier League is the dream each season for me.
