Chelsea win UEFA Champions League final on penalties

Munich: Chelsea became the European Champion after beating Bayern Munich on penalties in a really riveting and nerve-racking Champions League final today at Allianz Arena.

No goal was scored until Thomas Muller scored for Bayern in the 83rd minute and it looked as if everything was over. Ribery, might be aiming Gomez, floated a beautiful cross, but it went straight to Muller who made the most of it and headed it into the net. Cech looked confused as the ball first touched the ground and then moved the net.

In the 88th minute Didier Drogba scored the equaliser with an impressing header. . Mata swung it towards the near post, where Drogba got a run on Boateng and smashed a goal.

Ball possession ration was Bayern 55 percent to Chelsea 45 percent.

The extra time went fruitless for both teams and the match headed over to the penalties.

Drogba scores from the penalty spot. Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League 4-3 in a really dramatic match today.  The Ivorian coolly places the ball, low and into the bottom right-hand corner as Manuel Neuer is deceived and dives the wrong way.
