CHELSEA IS THE CRITERIUM FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SUCCESS

In recent times since the takeover of the blues by Russian oil guru, Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have been teased to be the perennial under achievers in the UEFA Champions League. But through my personal observation of events that have occured in the European Competition for the past three years,beating Chelsea is the way to Champions League success.
 Starting from  the 2008 final, Manchester United won the competition after defeating Chelsea on penalties when a Cristiano Ronaldo goal was cancelled by a Frank Lampard tap in in the first half. John Terry missed the decisive penalty after Petr Cech save Ronaldo's spot kick only to lose the trphy to their English rivals.
 In 2009, Barcelona controversially beat the Blues on away goals in the semi finals after some poor officiating. Michael Essien put Chelsea in the lead and after that a penalty was denied when Yaya Toure brought down Drogba in the area. Later a deliberate handball inthe area by Gerard Pique was waved away for the game to continue. Iniesta equalised in the last minute to send the Blaugrana to the  finals to beat Manchester United.

  Just last year , Inter beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to qualify to the semi finals only to defeat Barcelona and eventually clinch the title.
