Europa League Final: Benfica 1-2 Chelsea

May 16th, 2013 12:13

Chelsea have triumphed in the Europa League final over Portugese side Benfica in a 2-1 victory thanks to goals from Branislav Ivanovic and Spanish striker Fernando Torres. Ivanovic won the game in dramatic fashion with an injury time header after Oscar Cardozo had equalized from the penalty spot. This made up for the Serbian defender having missed the Blues' Champions League success last year. It was heartbreak for Benfica, however, who made it 7 European finals without a win.Chelsea were weakened by the absence of midfield talisman Eden Hazard and captain John Terry, but brought in quality replacements in the from of Juan Mata and midfielder Ramires.On a personal level, manager Rafael Benitez was delighted by the team's success, making it three Europa Cup victories for the combative Spaniard. As a club, Chelsea joined giants Bayern, Juventus and Ajax in winning all three major European trophies, an impressive achievement.See how the Blues fare next year.

I'm really pleased for the players and everyone involved." Midfielder Lampard noted that "We're a group, a team, and it was tight tonight after the long season we've had."

    Bought 2 Club Wembley tickets less than 48 hours before the Championship Play Off Final. Good communication and tickets arrived the following day by email. No problems getting into the stadium and seats were great. Unfortunately my team’s performance was the only let down. Would definitely use this company again.

    It was easier than I thought to find a group of seven seats together and very simple to book. Communication was excellent, the tickets were sent quickly and were easy to access, so no problems at the stadium. Seats were good and we had a great view. Everything worked well and I'll definitely be back for tickets again - many thanks!

    I flew all the way from Australia to watch Arsenal vs Burnley. They have amazing customer service. They answered and replied to all my inquiries within a few minutes. I received the ticket on time, and the instructions and support were excellent. It was my first experience, and I will definitely use their service again in the future.

    Purchased 2 tickets for the Europa League Final - Freiburg vs Aston Villa. Tickets were in the neutral side. Great view and tickets were delivered on time electronically via the UEFA tickets app. I could assign my name to them. These guys are 100% legitimate and their communication is brilliant. Would definitely use again.
