The Spanish striker concedes that the luck was on their side but it was do or die situation for them against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s first ever European Cup win and admitted that luck played a large part in their win against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Chelsea took on the Bavarian giants on Saturday night
in the UEFA Champions League final and made hard work of the German juggernauts. In the first half of the encounter, Chelsea were mostly on the back foot as they tried to contain Bayern Munich by defending deep in their own half of the field.
This resulted in several clear cut goal scoring chances for Bayern but there were glimpses of some fantastic defending by Chelsea as well as both http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Cole-c6809 contributed with important blocks. In the second half,
Bayern Munich opened the scoring in the last ten minutes of the encounter but Chelsea responded in fine style to force the match into extra time via Didier Drogba’s powerful header.
In extra time, Bayern were awarded a penalty which was then saved by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837. Eventually the match was decided through a penalty shoot-out in which Chelsea held their nerve and brought the UEFA Champions League trophy to London,
becoming the first London club to win the European Cup in the history of European football.
Torres reflected on the match as he said, "It's been a tough season for the team and we have even changed our coach, but today we have had the luck Bayern didn't have. We have played like a team and we have faced the bad moments
properly. We may have [had] no luck at the beginning of the season but today we had. It was live or die today.”
He added, "As the season went on, we realised how we had to play and so we did today. It's not the most beautiful football, but we won." Torres was introduced into the equation in the final few minutes of normal time but he was
on the field when Drogba got the equalizer just before the end of normal time. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 forward was bought by Chelsea in the January of 2011 for 50 million pounds making him the most expensive signing in the Premier League history.
