Chelsea

Just 12 hours later, the Champion of European League will be decided by a match between the German Bayern Munich and the English Chelsea. But for me, the blue team is the Champion of this year.

I am not actually a supporter of Chelsea FC. A few years ago, it was the biggest opponent of Manchester United in every way. United usually do not play like a good team when confronting the blues, because of the excellent defense at the back led by John Terry and the beast Drogba in the front is also threatening.

But then, the blue giant is aging. The backbone formed by the aboved mentioned players and the midfield key-player Frank Lampard have all reached their prime and they are more than thirties now. At the start of the season, despite the change of a new manager AOB to make some changes, no one feels that London club would take any trophy this year at all.

The prophecy was almost true. They did start the EPL badly, either being scoreless or being defected disappointingly. The Chelsea that we used to see was just not there for almost half a year. Fans could not dare to face the EPL table.

They then decided to stop the change by appointing De Matteo as the new manager. He is the man to put the Chelsea back to track. He re-ignited the old backbone and allowed them to shine, be it the last chance in their career. They put themselves into the final by defeating the invincible Barcelona, and they picked up the FA Cup again this year, winning over Liverpool.

12 hours later, the Champion will be decided. But then, who cares about whether Chelsea win or lose. They fell and they raised up, now a step away from the Champion of the Europe. It was the biggest comeback.
