not sure why people keep underestimating Chelsea and undervaluing their achievement - they have a quality roaster and changed coaches just recently, so they needed time to adjust. Played Barca and a strong Bayern team defensively, many would say as second best, but it's not like any other team would have a prayer in an open game vs Barca, while Bayern were playing at home tonight - did Real M play them any differently in the SF or what? And if they did, how did that work out for them?
All in all, Chelski have the quality players, picked the smart tactic to neutralize Barca and Bayern (on their home turf) and did what they needed to do to win.
You guys will see how "pathetic" the level of CL football next year - if you think you are gonna have a walk in the park, based on watching a game or two on TV, many of you are in for quite a surprise
