Rafa Benitez may never get the backing of the Chelsea support, even if he were to lead us to glory on two fronts, but he does have this knack of winning the big games.
Having overcome the challenge presented by Manchester United, whilst also actively seeking out Sir Alex Ferguson to shake his hand, it was a happy Benitez that faced the press after the game and Rafa had this to say about the events of the afternoon,
‘I am really pleased because the players were doing a great job. Manchester United are a very good team and we did really well. We have good balance between the defence and midfielders. Physically you could see one or two challenges we could not cope but with the ball we were much better.”
‘It was a fantastic goal by Demba Ba but everyone’s performance was really pleasing. Petr Cech made some good saves but at the end of the day we deserved to win.’
And I reckon we did as well, how about you?
