Benfica 1 Chelsea 2: Ivanovic rises high in injury time to seal dramatic Europa League success for Benitez's Blues

Champions of Europe. You know what they are. The header looped back across Benfica’s six-yard box and goalkeeper Artur could only watch with mounting, helpless horror. Chelsea, an unstoppable force in European competition, had done it again.
They had been outplayed and won. They were second best and would soon lift the trophy. The bright screens in the Amsterdam Arena had long shown that 90 minutes was up. There would be no revival, no brave comeback. There was no time. The goal celebrations, the post-match shindig, it all seemed to roll into one.
So here we are again. Not quite as dramatic as Munich, maybe, but no less impressive for that. Not many teams can win the big matches in adversity like this. There is a special spirit within this team and it is being handed down, like folklore. Chelsea find a way to win. Chelsea refuse to lie down. Imagine what they would be like in a boxing ring.
