POST-SEASON BRIEFING 2011/12
Posted on: Fri 01 Jun 2012
In their traditional review of the last nine months, club historian Rick
Glanvill has the chance to discuss history made and club statistician Paul
Dutton adds some highly-significant numbers to the records books…
----------------
It was, as others have observed, 'one small step for a man, one giant leap
for Chelsea.' Some probably argued Didier Drogba's step was too short for
the run-up to such an important kick. The proof was in the scoring.
Just like the 1969 moon landings, every Chelsea fan will remember where
they were when the execution of that penalty won Chelsea the Champions
League the first time; many have gone one better and committed the moment
to YouTube.
The Blues became just the fifth English club to win that prestigious
trophy, the others being Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest
and Aston Villa (whose fans will have to find a new song when they play
us).
Chelsea became the first club in London to enjoy that honour. The last
time the Blues could say that was in 1965 with the League Cup.
The game was a massive draw. It was estimated 45,000 Chelsea fans made
their way to Bavaria, with or without a ticket. Back home, live coverage
of the Munich final on ITV averaged 8.2 million viewers and a 33.5% share
over three hours. Sky Sports averaged 1.488 million and a 6.7%.

That was more than tuned in to last year's final, Barcelona versus
Manchester United at Wembley, which averaged 7.9 million and a 33.2% share
on ITV, with 1.34 million watching Sky Sports' coverage.
Channel 4 competed by showing the film 'Titanic', the irony of which was
surely not lost on Spurs fans.
Globally, through TV, internet and social media, Uefa suggests 300 million
people followed the match live in 200 countries or territories. Watching
the celebration videos uploaded everywhere from Fulham Broadway and Munich
to New York and Saigon it is easy to see why.
How proud John Battersby would have been of Chelsea's success in a
competition he helped create in 1955. Our former club secretary, who died
in 2010, attended all the meetings that established the European Cup and
was hugely disappointed when xenophobes at the Football League blocked
champions Chelsea's entry to the inaugural 1955/56 tournament. So here's a
toast to 'JB.'
Several Chelsea players have now won ten major honours in eight years -
that is more than any other player in the history of any of the capital's
other clubs.
Edging Bayern in the Champions League final from the spot means the Blues
have won three of the last five penalty shoot-outs faced, two of them this
season (the other being against Fulham in the League Cup).
The win not only removed rivals Tottenham from next season's competition,
with its associated revenues, but ensured that Chelsea have a chance to
become the first club in the Champions League era to defend the title, at
Wembley on 25 May 2013.
Contesting the final also meant that no club has played more Champions
League matches than the Blues since 2003. With the departure of Pep
Guardiola from our semi-final opponents Barcelona, Chelsea will be
recorded as the only undefeated opponent of the 55 that faced his
exceptional Catalunyans.
How different everything looked in the moments after defeat at West
Bromwich Albion on 3 March - the Blues' first defeat at the Hawthorns in
43 years. It was just as ominous a sign as the ill-fated loss at QPR in
October - the Blues' first defeat to a newly-promoted side since 2001.
In spring progress in every remaining campaign was imminently threatened,
with a tricky midweek trip to Birmingham for an FA Cup replay and the
daunting prospect of overcoming a 1-3 deficit to Napoli a week later.
The decision to promote Roberto Di Matteo to interim first team coach was
an inspired one. He was assisted by Steve Holland and Eddie Newton, the
dressing room immediately united with them and performances reflected that.

Although the key objective - a top-four place - was missed, Di Matteo
ensured the proud record of finishing in the top six every year since 1997
was extended.
The FA Cup, which had given Di Matteo and Newton their finest hour that
same year in May, salvaged the club's pride brilliantly. The 5-1
semi-final win over Spurs equalled our best ever at that stage of the cup
(Watford in 1970, coincidentally at White Hart Lane).
By beating Liverpool 2-1 in the final on 5 May, Chelsea drew level with
Reds' tally of seven wins in the competition. The 5.15pm kick-off time was
the latest in the competition's 140-year history, and it drew the biggest
TV audience share since the Blues beat Manchester United in the first
final played at the new Wembley in 2007, covered by the BBC, and the
biggest since ITV took over.
ITV's viewing figures peaked at 11.21 million, three million more than
last year's clash between Manchester City and Stoke City. A further two
per cent of TV viewers watch the match on ESPN.
Chelsea have now enjoyed five multiple-major trophy-winning seasons:
1997/98 - Uefa Cup-Winners' Cup and League Cup
2004/05 - Premier League and League Cup
2006/07 - FA Cup and League Cup
2009/10 - Premier League and FA Cup
2011/12 - Uefa Champions League and FA Cup
