• That just about sums it up, Trizia. I watched it on British Forces TV in Tel Aviv (don’t ask – it’s a public holiday here so all Israeli sports channels were shut down) with a few others, half Chelsea, half Barca. I can’t remember a game with so many twists & turns of fortune. Edge of the seat stuff, evoking every possible emotion from depression to elation. What a performance by Chelsea, though, in their pseudo-Real kit! Bring on Bayern in the final. UTC!

• Good stuff.
  Just back…still buzzing…an incredible experience

• It’s almost as though I could’ve written this article myself, except I wasn’t at the Nou Camp and I was listening to the live commentary on Chelseafc.com as my satellite was on the blink. I just wanted the ref to blow the whistle at 2-1 and then Torres scored! Pat Nevin was too choked up to talk! Great game…

• I watched live from my screen in my sitting room via #Supersport and as a lady i lost my voice & tears were flowing like water from my eyes. When i saw Ramires goal, i could not believe it. when Messi missed the Penalty, i knew that God was with us. Then Torres goal broke my spirit and i was screaming & rolling on the floor. i feel so proud being a #Chelsea Fan yesterday, today, tomorrow & forever. #OneLove #CFC

• A half a billion pound team and you played like Rangers.

  I suppose it shows what you are like as a person if you continue to support a club after an OLIGARCH takes over. That’s right, a man who has bank rolled Chelsea using the Russian public’s money.

  Oh sorry, those mercenaries who were playing for Oligarch FC were heroes. My mistake.

  • Jack – why are you posting on a Chelsea blog?

• Lovely piece of writing Trizia. I had longed to be there myself but have very few days off left and needed to hang on to them just in case we made it to Munich. I’m glad that you, and all our other fans, had such a fantastic and memorable trip.

• Great piece Trizia, you nailed it.

  I was up there with the 5,000 Chelsea fans, and THAT moment, I will never ever forget for the rest of my life.

  When Torres received the ball, the Chelsea fans had been desperately chanting “Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea” to keep the boys going, to keep them defending heroically (just like it was at Stamford Bridge). Even though I can only presume no one could hear us all the way down there.
  At this point half of my flag was in my mouth I was so nervous.

  As we realised what a golden chance this is for Torres, we pretty much all fell silent, were holding on to each other, and as you say, it all went into slow motion. I think most of us waited till the ball had definitely hit the back of the net, and then obviously went mental. Well, more than mental, but you know.

  When the final whistle went I think many of us found a tear running down our face.

• Sums it up nicely. Just one question, why weren’t you in away section?

• Perfect prose Triz….summed up my night perfectly….couldn’t have put it better.
