Cruel? It was a stupid run-up and soft tap into the keepers arms.

Not cruel. Dumb.

No matter his potential, Lukaku is not ready yet. That will be a big knock to his confidence. He'll need to bounce back with some premiership goals.

Bayern deserved to win. Had the edge with players. Chelsea ceded most of the 50-50s. And in the end just sat back far too deep hoping against hope.

Saab Ed

Bahahaha. Can't help myself. What a **** peno. And they played so well. Must be heart breaking. Sooooo ****ing funny. Welcome home Jose. Pep still has you in his pocket.

BM look like they have taken a step back under Pep.

Has Terry changed into his Bayern kit yet?

Rayne Wooney

Bruised ego for Jose, Pep seems to almost always have the upper hand

Looked like he tried the Hazard style penalty but Neuer stood there and waited, it just didn't work at all bit hopefully it doesn't have an adverse effect on his confidence.

Anyway it would be impossible for any Chelsea fan not to be proud of the team tonight. 40+ minutes of playing with 10 men, and still Bayern only get a draw with the last kick of the game. Cech, Luiz, Lampard, Oscar, Hazard all outstanding tonight. The potential of this side, with Willian and Eto'o coming in too, is incredible. Mourinho's effect is clear for all to see, so rugged defensively and dangerous going forward, I'd hazard (no pun intended) a guess that no team will enjoy playing Chelsea this season in the Chamoions League.

DazMarz

Sick.... So horrible. But no arguments. The superior and better team on the night won it. Horrible for Lukaku, but that was one of the worst fúcking penalties I've ever seen. At least if he'd tried something cheeky/spectacular, there'd be some consolation ("At least he tried it..."). But that... Dear Jesus. Neuer loves that all day, every day.

So close to writing up my favourite adage: "I'd rather be lucky than good". Luck deserted at the last second and being good came through.

Congrats to Bayern. Won't be the last piece of silverware they get their hands on this season, no question. By far the better team tonight and got their revenge on the Famous CFC. Guardiola adds another notch to his bedpost over Mourinho. Order is restored to the galaxy.

Mr.Nice Guy

Talk about an overreaction to a penalty. If Neuer had gone the other way no one would have batted an eyelid.

I'm just pleased Terry's obligatory late cameo will only result in a runners-up medal this time.

Saab Ed

Going on previous, I'd be backing shortening odds managers for the Chelski job. They lost, surely the Russian Oil thug must be considering a replacement :-D

Definitely. Last year they would have demolished Chelsea

Feel for lukaku, aye it was a **** peno but looks like a he's gonna cry , ah well I'm more happy with our performance , some great individual stand outs from that .

Mr.Micro

Unlucky for Chelsea the 2nd BM goal with 4 seconds to go and the missed peno.
Will give BM a run for their money this season if they clash in the CL.

mikehunts

Sweet match great finish.

GavRedKing

With 10 men we held on well that goa was horrible but it was the bounce of ball. no complaint better team won but we gave a decent account of ourselves.

Poor from lukaku but we didnt really have many other options fair play to luiz for going up to him straight away.

Hopefully we see bayern in the UCL at some stage down the line and we can reverse it. roll on everton after the break.

It's very early days lads, very harsh to be judging Pep at this point.

I also don't think they would've hammered that Chelsea team last year. They were excellent defensively.

Best team won overall, i think it's fair to say.

Jaysus that was closer than the folks here expected (though nobody really was predicting a walkover) now for 1/2 more of these to calm everyones nerves

I don't think Chelsea were that great shakes last year and Bayern were unstoppable last year. I think they would have really shown Chelsea something last year like the way they did to Barcelona.

There are teething problems at the moment with Pep's system. Lahm in DM is madness!

They were defensively frail in the first half.

I also believe they were more potent last year.

Fantastic match!

Bayern just about deserved it imo and I'm biasing that because Chelsea were very cynical with their fouling. Lots of elbows and stamps! Ramires red deserved. Feel really sorry for Lukkaku. Shaqiri and Ashley Cole were very lucky too. Though arguably Cole really deserved his to go as it was very sweetly struck. Shaqiri's not so much.

Chelsea at home in Europe is going to be very tough for any team. Mourinho's team's always toe that boundary on discipline limits. Lots of niggle fouls to break up flow and formations.

Bayern are going to be a very tough prospect, especially if they gel. One thing tonights game really epitomised was how reactive both managers are. Neither finished with the same game plan they begun with. So much in game tinkering and tweaking. A total contrast to the Utd Chelsea game at the start of the week. Message sent by both Bayern and Chelsea to the rest of Europe imo.

Mourinho is making a show of himself in this interview.

He also said Ramires should not of been sent off. Ridiculous comment.

Thought he looked a bit clownish trying to get the crowd going for about ten mins. Ferguson vs Madrid doesn't look too bad after watching that tonight.

lahalane

He said the best team lost when Bayern knocked Madrid out on penos two years ago. Maybe he doesnt like Bayern...or losing on penalties...or maybe hes a sore loser? Disappointed to hear that, especially the Ramires comment.

Well done Bayern. Fiver on them to win on penalties at 12/1.

The man is just a sore loser, always has been and always will be.

Andersonisgod

There is no better manager to have than Jose Mourinho at your club. Everything he brings, tactical accumen, the ability to unite a group and get them to believe in the sole message which he brings, the ability to take a group of players and turn them into winners, the entertainment he brings and that cult of personality (thanks CM Punk) that gets the whole club pulling in the one direction.

Last season I thought Chelsea had a talented side but some of the league games and certainly the Champions League campaign showed that it lacked a bit of steel and know how. Mourinho, in a short space of time, has got them playing as a real Mourinho team.

Maybe he doesn't like being owned by Pep. His ego is just too big. He can't contemplate the fact that he's just not the best.

No-one doubts Mourinho's abilities as a football manager. Still there's always the doubt that you should never go back. Time will tell.

Not a single scorer from England or Germany and four goals scored. Tut tut tut :pac:

They very well could be. Actually I would count on it. The departure of Heykes may have led to the changing of last year's all-action attack and the introduction of Pep's tika taka system which I wouldn't like to see as Bayern were phenomenal last season.

I question Bayern's transfers this summer also. Thiago and Gotze are undoubtedly great players but did they really need them? They have a HUGE squad of exceptional talent all looking for a game.

I don't see why not. Chelsea fans adore him, he has a group of young players that he can (and clearly already is) molding into playing the way he likes his teams to play. He's been able to bring in players that suit his style of football (Willian being a good example of one) and he has players at the club already devoted to Mourinho's way (Lampard, Terry, Essien, Cech, Mikel and now Eto'o). I have no problem in saying that, had Chelsea met Bayern last season, they would have beaten us and beaten us handsomely, the team played some good stuff last season but didn't have that steel or resolve that Mourinho seems to bring to his teams. I'm disappointed in the manner which the side lost, being that they were seconds away from beating the European champions with 10 men but I'm more convinced now than ever of what Mourinho is doing with this group.

Robbed? No, Chelsea battled well with 10 men but were not robbed, no way.
Deserved? Why? because chelsea were leading?
Pep? Mourinho is a nastier piece of work. (how many cards had chelsea?)
