Fernando Torres opened the scoring with a cracking goal after a great run by Hazard, the world's scariest footballer equalised for Munich just after half time and at 90 minutes it was 1-1 and Chelsea had lost Ramires to a red card.
Early in extra time Hazard scored a brilliant solo goal and it looked like Chelsea would hold on with Cech and his back four having inspired games.For some reason Jomo brought on Terry for Hazard which invited Munich to set up camp in the Chelsea half but they came within 5 seconds of holding on.
The penalties were all good until Lukaku did his Anelka impression (David Luiz should be put in charge of penalty training).
Munich were the better team overall but the Chelsea defence were superb especially Gary Cahill.
Petr Cech is the man.
ReplyDeleteLukaku's attempt was awful, but Ashley Cole's was an utter fluke.
Kind of liked Torres and increased my hate for Terry...
It was a great game!
I'm not sure Guardiola has added anything to Munich? they were awesome last year but looked pretty average last night, mainly because Chelsea's defence was so good. Hazard looked class and even Torres had a good game.
ReplyDeleteLukaku seemed to have stage fright, not surprising as he's had little game time for Chelsea and I can't believe Terry let him take the last penalty?
Every time I'd seen scary Ribery play before, he's looked like the weak link in the Munich team but last night he was their star.
