Why? Because of 2012? Ok, speak for yourself.

But if one year we ever eliminate Barca like they did then I'll forget it.

Yes, obviously. I can see what you mean, but I believe there is no point in hoping they'll lose to Juventus because of what happened in 2009, I thought us qualifying with ten men for most of the game and then seeing pics of them crying in their dressing room more than made up for it.

Chelsea's CL triumph couldn't be sweeter even if we wanted to.

Yeah he will be, no time to rest for the players who played the final today.

Friendly tomorrow will be very interesting then.

No Neymar,Hulk,Robinho,or Oscar.

Willian and Coutinho will be the creative talisman for Brazil.....Willian and Coutinho.

I get your point too but that's just me.. This is the second team I hate the most. And it's just not about the game during the 08/09 season. This game just adds a bit to my hatred towards them.

This will mean nothing to people outside the U.K. but thank fuck that's the last time we'll have to put up with Clive Tyldesley and fucking Andy Townsend. And surely I.T.V. could have got someone better then Alex Song to be a pundit i couldn't make out a word he was saying.

Robinho is in the squad I believe. But yeah, their attacking options are not so impressive without Neymar especially.

I think Juve missed a huge chance tonight. Since their goal, they were the best team by far, but what are you doing going all out for the second? i cannot understand it. How can you allow counter attacks of Messi-Suarez-Neymar? 4 vs 3, 5 vs 4, and it wasnt just once.

Barcelona are the best this season, but their game today was unconvincing especially in the 2nd half, they were there for the taking in that half, smarter approach by Juve would've at least get them to the extra time.

If i need to judge the level of Barcelona, and by that the level of the top teams, i would say there wasnt a team who was really really strong this season, and i think its quite surprsing if you look at the money investments in all the top teams.

Reasons? probably the ageing squad of Bayern, and probably also Pep's tactics who never changes and how he weakened Henykess's side, and Real's problems - changing a winning squad, injuries, Ancelotti. Barcelona are very good, but i wont say its one the greatest sides i've seen. The front 3 is amazing but thats their main thing. The Central Midfield isnt frightening or the best in the world, and their manager doesnt give them the extra you can expect from the best team in the world.

As a Chelsea fan, im more optimistic, im not sure we need aggressive changes to be in that stage next season if we'll keep improving as a team. Improving the squad cant do any harm, but i think we can see there's no unstoppable force in Europe right now.

Juve was better only during 60-70 minute. Rest was pure barca dominance with juve unable to do anything worthy.

I was dissapointed with Tevez mostly, on other hand Morata was quite great. Real Madrid are such losers lol.

Juve deserved to be in final just for their fighting spirit, but by no meaning is this team that is second best in europe. Real, Bayern, even Chelsea, Psg would rival them on another day.

They put nice performance, but should take control of game in their hands more. I think barca is weakest in defense and juve should exploit that. Instead they allowed MSN to do their magic all night. Also no Chiellini looks to be quite a loss for juve. Their defense was flying at times.

A bigger group of childish, pathetic scummy cheats has never existed.

By far the best team but still resort to diving and cheating. So disappointing.

People are still shiting on that?

How about from reverse perspective, with us parking bus in every crucial game despite having all that talent in team. No surprises so many people hate us etc. Leaves no joy for neutral fans to watch attractive football match when we do that.

Everyone has its own way of winning. Win is a win. Mou told that and you (not just you, but all chelsea fans) should know that best. If you hate the way how barca played, because they didnt play ''pure football'' or whatever, than I dont see how can you defend Chelsea tactics.

That said, what happend in semifinal 2009 when we were robbed by REF is completely different thing and I dislike barca for that ever since.
