Congrats Shakhtar, Congrats Donetsk, Congrats­ Ukraine!!!!!!!!!! Well done :-)

Another blind ref! As long as UEFA keeps on fixing­ games like the one yesterday purely due to political­ reasons (Euro 2012) football will suffer. Never mind­ diving players. A goal is a goal and a penalty is a­ penalty. When will UEFA introduce third ref's like­ in cricket or Rugby. But no, the loss of power would be­ far too great. Only if spectators would realise whats­ actually going on and stay away would Platini, Blatter­ and co get removed. But pigs will fly first!

Scottish C, do you watch the match you are commenting­ about?????????????
Chelsea vs Barca. If you watch that­ match, then you are unfair in your comment.

Uefa Cup for BRAZILIANS

Well done Shakhtar..

Blimey does that mean St Petersberg is­ now moved from eatern europe than as they one it last­ year.

EGK, you´re as dum as they come, writing out your­ fantasies like they make the slightest sence. Take a­ pill, relax and stop moaning about your chelski, they­ were lucky to have even come close to qualifying for­ the final against one of the best teams in the world­ like Barca. All they did was play destructive football­ and got way too far in the competion if u ask me. The­ ref will definately be in the world cup cause fifa know­ they need refs who do not break with idiotic crowd­ pressure.

Who cares? Champion's League Final is where­ it's at, come on UNITED!!!!!!

EGK, was that the same referee that sent off a­ Barcelona player when Anelka threw himself to the­ ground?

& what about the referee that didn't­ award Henry a stonewall penalty at the Nou Camp? Maybe­ Chelsea had bought him? After all when decisions go­ against you, it can't be an honest mistake, there­ must be corruption! Is that what you're­ suggesting?

Then again maybe if the likes of Anelka,­ Drogba & Ronaldo didn't throw themselves to the­ ground EVERY SINGLE TIME an opposing player is near­ them, maybe then they'd get believed when they are­ tripped or tugged in the box. I think it's great­ karma, for every penalty won by CHEATING early in the­ careers of these players, they are thought of more­ & more as a diver, & later in their careers­ they don't get the decisions, it all balances­ out.

Don't get me wrong, I like plenty of Chelsea­ players, & I'd have Cech, Lampard & Terry­ in my team of the best 11 players in the world, but the­ only reason they are out of the champions league is­ because they didn't try to score in the away match.­ They sat back playing for a goalless draw &­ thought they could do it at Stamford Bridge.

As it­ turned out, they weren't even good enough to beat a­ 10 man Barcelona side.

Away goals are everything in­ Europe, we know this in Scotland better than anyone. ­ Away goals have decided the result in 35 games for­ Scottish teams until the end of the 2008 season,­ it's only gone in the favour of Scottish teams 7­ times or only a 20% success rate. I looked up the­ stats, this is a fact.

If you can't or won't­ even try to score an away goal, then don't moan­ about it, you don't deserve to proceed.

If this­ referee doesn't officiate another match then­ that'd be 2 top class referees that Chelsea have­ succeeded in getting removed from the game in recent­ years. With that in mind I'd happily see them­ banned from Europe. It's one thing t

it was about time a club from the east to win the uefa­ cup

Well done Shakhtar! Well done brothers!
Beating Barsa­ 3:2 in Barcelona (in Champions league - Spain),­ Tottenham (UK), CSKA (Russia), Marseille (France),­ Werder (Germany) has to mean that the cup was not­ undeserved!
Next - Champions League! If Zervena Zvezd­ and Steaua can do it - why don't we?

For all those calling the super cup a Barca vs Shakhtar­ affair, please be wise, Barcelona are into the­ Champions league final by default and as the­ internaional gaming board and court of arbitration are­ looking into the possibility of outside interest in the­ refereeing scandal against Chelsea, we may yet see, a­ final that never will be. As if the ruling finds in­ Chelsea's favour and they might after FIFA have­ sacked the referee and his officials for suspected foul­ play, we might see MAN UTD crowned rightful champions­ without even kicking a ball. Even if the final does­ take place, Barcelona have a very slim chance of­ beating Manchester Utd. Also, the Super Cup is another­ money spinner. It's a waste to the fans, and most­ of the clubs take it as awamr up game!

UEFA Super Cup- Barca vs. Shaktar

britain is in europe, thus british football is european­ football -- i agree with ben that the rest of europe­ never needed english football, though.

svaka­ čast, darijo!!!!

Alan G i believe you are totally wrong and you should­ consider your thoughts.

And Spurs should have beaten them with their Reserve­ side out there... sad they didn't field a stronger­ team back then, but it reflects well on the squad and­ how Spurs should perform next season. Well done­ Shakhtar, even if you were amazingly jammy along the­ way...
