Closed Bayern Munich 2-2 Chelsea

[Cosmin 2,484]

Thank you, Chelsea FC, for another amazing night! No matter who our manager is, no matter who our players' names are, IT'S IN OUR BLOOD and it won't go anytime soon. I'm talking about this amazing spirit. I'm so proud of my team.

Blaming Lukaku is a disgrace. The lad is young and the pressure on his shoulders was huge. Let's cut him some slack.

Come on, Chelsea!

"The best team lost" - Mourinho. His eyes are red, what a manger! He loves the club so much.

Lol people are soo quick to come up and defend lukaku. Relax man. Dont think theres a lot of people are being harsh and pointing the finger at him as you make out to be.

Again I was pointing out when we went 1-0 up and rarely wanted to get a second. It can bite you in the arse

It can at times. But against this team I think it was the correct strategy, despite conceding and eventually losing. You get a surprise lead and it gives you something to hang on to.

Saying don't sit back is easy, but when you expect to give up a lot of possession it just fits in perfectly with playing fast counter attacking football.

Great game. Played really well. Brilliant season

ahead. Terrible PK by Lukaku. Not ready yet.

Lukaku going fifth was a poor choice. Looked in tears after missing. He'll get a chance to redeem himself soon enough.

Even putting him in the first five penalty takers was a mystake even if he wanted to shoot a penalty.

He's not a very good penalty taker, his technic is quite bad and too easy for a good goalkeeper to read.

iceboy you're the definition of plastic.

Either that or you're 10 years old. Go back to poluting the Rooney thread

[Krypt 241]

At the end of the day its a friendly cup. We have just proved we can play with the best. The organization of this team is fantastic. All this will do for lukaku is make him more set on beating the best. Bring the fuckers on !!

[Chels 238]

Shit so close, not good for my heart...

oh well not the most important cup but gives us a good indicator for the season and I'm fucking excited.

Ramires man of the match for me lol

[Goemaere 131]

Mind games from lukaku. Misses penalty and fakes confedence breaking down, forcing Jose to play him to prevent mental brake down. Becomes top scorer of 2013-2014 with most goals from an under 21 old in all competitions ever.

I would usually be annoyed after a loss but that was just fantastic. I can't give the team enough credit for how well they stuck in there, against the best side in the world, with 10 men. To be seconds away from winning must be hard to take for the effort they put in, but win or lose, couldn't be prouder after that. The only one I'm a little disappointed in is Ramires for that tackle.

And for anyone wondering why Oscar is starting ahead of Mata in these type of games, that was why. Yes he missed a good chance but other than that it was a phenomenal display.

[Guest jibrerv]

Was a little disappointed with Petr's performance in the shoot-out. It's never easy, but up to that point he was brilliant.

Go read the last few pages of the live match day thread.

i am sorry to say. He is the kind of supporter I would love to *******

Honest.

Otherwise, Götze was not that good for Bayern in a team having so much possession. Each time he had the ball, he was doing nothing.
