Chelsea were missing their best player - Ramires - not to speak of Terry, superprat though he be (you wouldn't mind him next to you on a battlefield, though, eh?). They were up against a superb midfield led by Schweinsteiger and a devastating attack led by Ribery and Robben. They played an overlapping defence formation that kept its shape and its cool for the whole match - genius, though, admittedly, not always great to watch. They frustrated the Bayern attack, and that, coupled with the wastefulness of the latter and the constant threat of a Chelsea counter, added up to a brilliant tactical victory. Very intelligent stuff from Di Matteo. On the night his resources were pretty limited for a squad of Chelsea's quality but he used them to perfection. Absolutely not a case, as has been said, of Chelsea "riding their luck."
