Like I mentioned in the match thread, has to be the least impressive winner of a competition since Greece at the Euros but going back even further for the CL...Chelsea scored from dead ball situations and left the world to snooze as they parked it...Mind numbingly boring

Watching Bayern with a boat load of chances was like deja vu, in triplicate

You can not judge a team merely by the title of the trophy they won, but also how they won it.
it makes Bilbao and A.Madrid both better teams in europe than Chelsea

Out of all the CL winners i have never seen a team this lucky,lets give them credit for their first CL title it doesn't matter how they won it cause it is our own fault to let this happen too.We cannot blame chelsea when no team played great against them.

Nope, Chelsea is nowhere near to being the best team in Europe, no matter what AnfieldEd would say. The worst winner of UCL in recent history, only Liverpool 2005 is worse. Both fluked the trophy, but sometimes the power luck is too powerful. On the otherside, we know today, that defending champion won't win UCL in 2012-13 :)

They went through the whole tournament with an incredible luck, they defend the whole time(even against Benfica and Napoli).They shouldn't go trough the group stage. They are on 6th position in the league(!), even Newcastle is higher in the table. Overlooks the fact that Newcastle could be the european champions. The answer to this question is simple - NO.

So we know we had this discussion previously... and some of the more experienced have gone on record defending the CL and the winners of the cup. But the question does arise again, with Chelsea currently crowned the European champions.

Are CL winners really the best in Europe?

Yes.. they are ..

They beat over 180 minutes and with 10 men for large part of the second leg.. and you claim you are the best team in the world, right ? you can't even be the best team in Spain
