To be honest I thought the commentators last night were rooting for Real Madrid until it became obvious they were total shite (in the last 20 minutes). I also think Chelsea get pretty crap treatment from the UK media in general. They get less respect than LFC and MUFC and, till recently, even Arsenal.
They are not treated as badly as City but there is still that sneering slightly xenophobic overtone to Roman Abramovich that we see towards our owner.
I think Chelsea have been great for English football since Abramovich came in in 2003, winning 16 major trophies and shattering the dominance of the self-entitled twats at MUFC and Arsenal. Like us they have also invested heavily in womens' football, youth football, and local infrastructure.
