    In 2012 Chelsea defied the odds to win the Champions League. They beat reigning champions Barcelona in the Semi-Finals, and competition favourites, Bayern Munich in the final.
    They did all this without their key players, and an interim head coach. So how did they do it?
    Alex Stewart explains.

    I remember every bit of this season. This season is like a Netflix or Prime Documentary for Chelsea fans.
    New Manager, Torres Miss, 7/8th in the league in mid season, AVB sacked, Chelsea vs Napoli (the day the magic began), RDM and his Park the Bus, Fa Cup win, 1-0 vs Barca at home, Cisse's Wonder goal takes us off the top 4, the night at Barca from JTs red card, Messi and his penalty miss and The night Torres went from Flop to legend, We win at Munich, Drogba Leaves.
    People say it's luck, maybe it is, but the players deserved it. RDM played 8 matches in the span of 3 weeks including Fa Cup semis, league and UCL semis and won us both. The squad of veterans was overworked. I still get overwhelmed and emotional when I remember these moments!

Each episode covers a different theme and the third covers 'Chance' where they covered both of Bayern's now infamous CL final losses 99 to United and 2012 to us ,with 2012 final being covered extensively.

    I was talking to my mate who is a Chelsea fan about this the other day. He said that if Chelsea win the champions league this summer he will feel almost cold to it because he feels no real connection to the side, whereas that Chelsea team was iconic. A squad with spine of ageing hero’s with a couple new young players rounded out with misfits it was a side that had characters that you remember.

      @arindambaruah5419 Pƙed 3 lety +4

      It will be just as special to win it this year especially considering the youth of the squad. Contrary to the 2012 side, this team has very young hungry players in their early 20s with some really experienced players in the form of Thiago Silva, Azpi, Giroud and a few more. These players have the chance to be the same iconic characters and for potentially a long long time at the Bridge. Whatever be the result, this squad is on a rise and will only get better. The 2012 squad was at its peak or just past it with nearly every iconic player in their 30s.

      @@arindambaruah5419 I’m not a Chelsea fan so I can’t speak on it. My mates feeling was that if Lampard was still in charge and that youth that debuted last season were all still mainstays then it would be different. Obviously Mount and James are still key but Tamori has gone out on loan Tammy has basically been made out to be third choice, Odoi hasn’t kicked on to be a starter and Gilmour has played less games than he did last year. There are players like Alonso, Dave and Kante who have been there are long time half the starting XI are new players half of whom have been inconsistent and cost Lampard his job. They could go on to have great careers at Chelsea and forge that connection but 6 months just isn’t enough time for him personally to feel that way

    always grinds my gears when i see bitter rival fans on twitter saying chelsea won the champions league "accidentally" or "by luck". this was a feat achieved by a very determined and close-knit group of players, many of whom were nearing the ends of their careers and knew that this would be their absolute last chance at winning the biggest prize in europe. they had come agonizingly close many times in the past decade, but they had never been able to make that final push, either due to poor refereeing (think liverpool's "ghost goal" or the 1-1 against barcelona) or bad luck (think terry's missed penalty against man utd in the 2008 final). to see them finally win the trophy, and in such dramatic circumstances, was an achievement that should have been celebrated by all who love football for what it is - a chance for stories to be written and dreams to be reached.

    The prior seasons add so much context to this CL win. Chelsea got to the CL Semis in 04, 05, 07 and 09 and in 08 to the final. It felt like it never was meant to be for this group of players.
    I'm a Chelsea supporter since the 90s and winning the CL is something I used to only see us do on FIFA back then. It's still a "pinch yourself" moment 9 years on.

    When Torres dribbled past Victor Valdes in the semis, it gave me peak anxiety. Earlier this season Torres had missed an open goal in an identical fashion against United and there were so many memes on the internet about it. The dude's confidence was absolutely crushed and it showed in his AVB time. But that mistake did not repeat - he scored, I cried and am still unable to believe that Chelsea beat a team that was, at the time, one of the best teams in the history of the game.

One thing though, the fast paced vertical passing football was brought to Munich by Jupp Heynckes in their treble winning season on the backdrop of this loss and in fact Guardiola just made Bayern's game more possession oriented and slow again. They were much more direct and fast under Heynckes.

    While Liverpool's victory over Milan coming back from 3-0 in 2005 was an incredible night, our run to win that UCL in 2012 remains probably the most romantic UCL run since the turn of the century.
    Overturning a 3-1 deficit in extra time, edging our way past Benfica with that last minute blitz from Meireles, and David and Goliath situations against arguably the best team of the modern era in Barca with that Torres screamer and then beating Bayern in their own backyard. All that with Bertrand making his CL debut, so many important first team names missing, an extra time penalty, one of the best poachers in the world at the time in Mario Gomez being kept on a leash, of course Drogba's equaliser and his winning penalty in the shootout. I can still vividly remember Schweinsteiger staggering his run-up and hitting the post, and you could tell just how nervous he was with that staggered run-up after he confidently put one away in the shootout against Real in the semis.
    Football's the best. UEFA and FIFA both have issues that run deep, but the Champions League has offered so many incredibly nights like this, and I can't believe we nearly lost it to the Super League. So glad people spoke up.
