Congtrats on your team getting to the final but i think it's Chelsea's trophy. Good luck tho
Bullet you took the words right out of my mouth (or from my fingers in this case!)
Benfica have done well and deserve their place in the final but i think Chelsea will just be too strong for them, especially if Mata, Hazard and Oscar are on form.
And not forgetting the fact that Benitez will really, really want the trophy so he can laugh at the mad Russian for only giving him the managers job on a temp basis!

With Russian you mean Roman Abramovich? Well with the many he has he can buy every manager he wants, so I think we will see Mourinho next year back in Chelsea. Mourinho is not satisfied in Real at the moment and probably wants his old team back.
As for Europa League - Benfica played some nice football this year but I think the cup is for Chelsea. Chelsea are just stronger.

Chelsea best players Ramirez and David Luiz played in Benfica, and the fact the we start as underdogs will be an advantage for us! Iam not afraid of chelsea, the name of the players doesnt scare me at all, because most of Benfica players in few years will be in clubs with lot of money! Put the eyes in Matic, Salvio, Gaitan, Garay, Ola John, Rodrigo, they will be the future top players! Nobody knows how to make good money from players like us!

A third European final in a row for Chelsea looked to be heading for extra-time after a Benfica penalty had levelled up Fernando Torres's second-half goal, but with stoppage time underway, Branislav Ivanovic's superb header won the Europa League.
Both halves followed a similar pattern, more possession and territorial advantage for the Portuguese side but Frank Lampard came closest to scoring before the interval, and he hit woodwork late in the game too.
Torres's strike, his sixth in this competition this season, came on the hour, the Spaniard expertly finishing off a counter-attack. The penalty, for handball soon after, was despatched by Benfica's leading scorer in the tournament, Oscar Cardozo. Ivanovic's decider was from a Juan Mata corner.

Well I don't know much about this sport over in this part of the world, but I hope the underdog wins. I feel this way because in the NBA here in the states my team, the Indiana Pacers haven't won a basketball championship and if they win against the New York Knicks tonight the next level is the Eastern Championship Finals then the Finals. They're up 3 games to 1 at this level.
Anyway I hope Benfica's pulls the win out for you all!

U can say what u want of that match, but that was a brilliant goal from Ivanovic....walking backwarts and still being able to place that ball with that much power and prescision in the far corner...that it was extra time allready made it an even more dramatic goal. Then the camera went over the crowd and I never ever saw so many adults crying while no one of any importance had died....football definatly took over the place of religion in a big part of the world...churches staying empty , but stadiums are filled up to the last place...
Anyway congratz to the chelsea supporters out there.

Congrats for chelsea supporters? F**k me, they are lame, most of them drunked pigs who doersnt giver a s**t about anything. Benfica supporters where awesome, all game pushing for the team, not like drunked pigs who starts to sing after the goals. I dont intend to ofend the english friends we have here, i dont follow chelsea team (i like more liverpool and newcastle) and i was expecting muych more from them. I was in stadium of light in the game against newcaslte, and honestly they really shgowed how good and friendly they are, not like this arrogant pigs, who follow a club with no class, no story, only with russian mafia money!

Woah, woah, woah! I understand your upset at your team fluffing "another" final but c'mon that's a bit much. Chelsea has a great history as a club and they have true loyal fans. To call them all drunked pigs is totally not called for. A lot of people going to football games like to have a good drink not just Chelsea fans its part of the culture of the football fan. (Beer and a mince pie you can't beat it)
but i think it's Chelsea's trophy.
