what about the 12/13 cl? We played that perfect and everyone gives us shit, well tbh just on jsp everyone else gives Chelsea the credit they deserve.
Right now sure they are playing it better, but few years ago we did as good as they did or possibly even better.

I'm assuming you mean 11/12, since in 12/13 you got raped in the group stages... now let's compare some stats:
Bayern only had 2 shots on target more than Atlético tonight, while Chelsea had 5 less than Barça in the 1st leg of semis, 2 less than Barça in the 2nd leg, and 4 less than Bayern in the final.
Bayern and Atlético had the same amount of cornerkicks tonight, while Chelsea had 7 less than Barça in the 1st leg of semis, 9 less than Barça in the 2nd leg, and 19 less than Bayern in the final.
Bayern commited 5 more fouls than Atlético tonight (dispite Atlético playing the defensive role and recovering far more balls), while Chelsea had 3 less than Barça in the 1st leg of semis, 2 more than Barça in the 2nd leg, and 12 more than Bayern in the final.
Can't argue with that. Atlético concedes less shots on target, less corner kicks and is able to recover the ball without fouling, making their defending much more efficient than Chelsea's during the 2011-12 CL season. Just look at how Bayern ended up making more fouls than them dispite having to recover the ball a lot less...
