I am surprised how many haters just randomly came out of the forest to hate on Robben and Bayern just because they lost. Overall, any idiot can tell Bayern are the better team. They outplayed Chelsea in every aspect of the game. Credit to Chelsea for sticking to their task and defending the entire game. Drogba and Cech were absolutely amazing in this game. Chelsea got that little bit of luck that they needed in the shootout, and they won.
Arjen Robben is a fantastic player, and if you disagree, you do not know much about football. He is incredibly quick and skillful. He is a bit one footed, but his dribbling and pace are so good, he normally manages to work the ball onto his left foot to create a shot or pass. The penalty wasn't the best, but he hit it very cleanly. 9/10xs a shot with that much pace will go in on a PK. This time Cech got it right. I think his statistics in the Bundesliga alone will show how good of a player he actually is.
German football is actually quite different than Spanish football. German football is typically about holding a good shape and working hard throughout the game. They are normally extremely efficient on set-pieces as well. This Bayern team isn't exactly the model of how most German teams play. They are much more creative and attacking than most German teams. They also attacked mainly through the wings with Robben and Ribery looking to either cross the ball to Gomez or cut in and shoot themselves.
Overall Bayern did everything right except finish their chances and have a bit of luck. Crazy game to watch. I feel really bad to the Bayern players, especially Robben and Schweinsteiger.
