Just like to wish Helder and his team Benfica good luck against Chelsea, will maybe see you in July to celebrate.

Lets hope that Chelsea can win it in real time this year, unlike a prevous final where they failed and had to rely on a seperate penalty competition. ::

very mixed feelings about this final; my son is a big Chelsea fan, & I'd love Frank Lampard to go out on a high if this proves to be his swan song

but I love Portugal & the Portuguese & have lots of Benfica supporting mates, they've had a barren old time for years & could do with a lift

so I just hope for a great game, & may the best team win,

& IF it goes to penalties EMM, could you take it out on the dog or whatever you do, save us from your rants on here, we're aware of them

Do not bother to watch penalty shoot outs, by then the real game is over.

Now if they had the opposing sides mascots in the customes that would be fun to watch and the end result would be the same, with one side claiming to have won the match which anyone with hal a brain even Chelsea supporters would know they did not.

Another myopic official. Nothing new there then. Enjoyed the final, cheering more for Benfica than Chelsea. Can't stand Abramovich.

You've got to give it to Chelsea - yet another trophy while Arsenal once again scrap for the last Champions League place.
Who says manager longevity is the right way ?

what's the detail? 10 years, 11 trophies, 9 managers! a difficult model to follow

John Terry must be the fastest clothes changer in football.

John Terry must be the most hated footballer EVER!! No morales, no redeeming points - just a loathesome man. Not satisfied with being a laughing stock at last year's Champions League Final when he collected the trophy in his kit whilst not actually playing, he only goes and does it again on Wednesday night. Demba Ba & Eden Hazard were also not playing, did they join the rest of their team mates in their kit? No, they remained in their club suits. Terry, take the money being offered and do us all a favour and go to Turkey - PLEASE ! ok, rant over

JT had to turn up in his team kit as one of his many " respectable " relations had stolen his suit.

ha ha. His mother and aunty were seen in the vicinity of the players changing rooms

I would think the amount of compensation paid by Abramovich for terminating manager's contracts would keep all the League1 and League 2 clubs solvent for years! Its an unfair world sometimes.

Did you see that when he put on his kit he was wearing specially made boots with "Amsterdam 2013" on them - complete tosser

Speaking of which why should Beckham be all over the papers because he retired - Paul Scholes was a much better player but we don't see his mug everywhere
