Did Chelsea get robbed of the Champions League final?

The refree had a terrible match for sure. It's not like football fans are always blaming the refree as someone says. It is that such a high level match can't be affected from refree's errors in this way. Maybe Chelsea would have lost anyway, but the point is that the match and the players attitude towards it was too compromised by what happened, and it was clearly impossible that Chelsea, and I dare say the whole match, could express all its potential. I think is time to make some changes in the rules. A tv refree (as they have in rugby for istance) could avoid many of the most common refree errors and make football a better and fairer sport.

Well, the ref had a really terrible game, and there's no doubt that at least some of those penalty appeals should have been upheld. But I can't help thinking that Chelsea had enough chances themselves to score in open play. If they'd taken just one of their opportunities, the incompetence of the officials would have been irrelevant because they would have been on their way to Rome. Surely the real reason that Drogba was so incensed at the end was because he knew that he had had plenty of chances to put the tie beyond doubt - he missed those chances and so was looking for someone else to blame. So I do think they were robbed - but I don't think it was deliberate: I don't believe the conspiracy theorists who think that UEFA didn't want two English teams in the final. It's just that the officials were useless and Chelsea missed the chances they had.

well it was really unfair for chelsea. i wouldn't rule out a conspiracy to avoid another Manu - Chelsea final. If i was in ballack's position i would have hit the referee. how many wrong decisions can a referee make in a game????? i was really disappointed.

pique was unintentionall in his hand ball...it was not his mistake to hand the ball...so this is the only thing ..others are all equally shared.. u cant blame the referee...he is very gentle...rather he made a mistake by sending a barca player out by red card..that was very intentionall..many people wont see that...they will see only this, did u notice how abusive language did drogba use to the referee after the final whistle...

Yes, they got robbed. The terrible referee destroyed this high-level match, also destroyed Chelsea. Although I like Bacelona more, I believe Chelsea should win this game. There were at least two or three penalties ignored by the referee. I understand the fury of team player or fans. I hope the similar scene never happens in final match.

I believe, they've been robbed even though Barcelona deserved the win. They had a lot of possession and a brilliant goal at the end. Chelsea should've had at least one or two penalty shots.
