3. A little bit of ‘LUCK’
What? Why is this even included? It’s hard work which helps one get closer to the dream but without luck it isn’t possible to win the Champions League. In 2012, Chelsea were the underdogs and Champions League seemed quite a cakewalk for Bayern back then, but with Robben getting sent off, Petr Cech saving penalties and Drogba with an amazing header, Chelsea were back and believed they could win. A little bit luck would have sent Chelsea to the next round as they had the same number of goals as PSG did. Almost all the teams that qualify for round of 16 or quarter-finals can be crowned as winners but it boils down to the fact which team outperformed the other and what made them better on that particular day or minutes I must say.
