Earlier in the week, Torres had said "the best team does not always win". His words proved gloriously prophetic for England's last men standing in Europe as they fought tooth and nail to scrap their way past the continent's finest and into the final in Munich on 19 May.

That it was Torres who scored the goal after being so maligned during his time at the Blues made for the perfect ending to a famous night for Roberto di Matteo's side.

Gutted, but fully deserved by Chelsea. Be very interesting to see if Barca can come back next year or if this is this is the end. Xavi is getting on and they haven't a replacement who can compare to him, not Cesc, not Thiago.

And on the note of Geoff Shreeves, what an utter bollocks:

Saw a great tweet from someone...

"Branislav, your dog is dead." "Yes, is dead." "You know your dog is dead?" "Yes." "And that you will never, ever see him again?" "Is true."

Gary Neville sounded like he was having an orgasm when Torres scored.
Anyone else hear Geoff Shreves(sp?) telling Ivanovic that he wouldn't be playing in the final..What a knob.
Aye a proper cnut. There is a time and a place.
Really felt sorry for ivanovic,he has been one of chelseas best players this season
what a moron shreeves is.that just sums sky and their presenters up.

Don't understand why people would question if this is the ned of Barca.

They played Chelsea aff the pitch over 2 games, 75% possession the first night, 70% posession the next night, missed penaly, hit posts etc.

Chelsea's name could be on her.

Shreeves was well out of order and needs to be told so. Total lack of class.

Arguably the 3 worst players they could have lost

herself is gutted. barca fans aren't used to losing.

the last 3 games were all the same though. Barca needed to up the tempo, the slow build ups and trying to work it through the defensive wall just didn't seem to be working in the previous 2 games, so I was surprised to see them playing the same way again. I guess not having a tall threat for set pieces and crosses makes it harder for them.

They need a Niall Quinn on the bench.  ;)
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Lee Westwood tweeted that Shreeves rang him up to tell him he has never won a major!

Never beat the deeler

Havent got access to Youtube at work. Can someone tell me what exactly Shreeves said?

Presume Ivanovic already knew he was out of the final, or didn't he?

Fair play to Chelsea. Just saw the last 30 mins or so...
Hasta la victoria siempre

That match showed that, sometimes, soccer can be exciting to watch.

You only think that because Chelsea played like Armagh!  :P

Spare a thought for poor JT, Chelsea through and through, going to miss out on their big night.
