Di Matteo upset with way Chelsea Champions League triumph recognised

Roberto di Matteo feels he deserves greater credit for Chelsea's Champions League triumph.

Di Matteo is disappointed at how Chelsea's triumph in winning the Champions League has been portrayed over the past couple of years.

He said: "I remember the final that Bayern played against Man United, where Bayern dominated the game and United won 2-1.

"When Bayern played Inter Milan it was exactly the same, there was one team playing and the other counter-attacking. And winning.

"I know people think we were lucky but I don't think we were. We deserved everything that we got because we did everything in our power to be able to win.

"People probably didn't like Chelsea winning it but I don't see any other team that has gone to Camp Nou and played expansive football. It's a bit of a myth the media have created. If you look at the numbers, my teams have always been free-scoring teams."
