They spent hundreds of millions over a decade to bring in the best talent money could afford then parked the bus as they relied on missed penalties and Lady Luck to take them through despite being entirely outplayed by the opposition.

So this means Bayern
deserve to win more? This is more important than Bayern taking their own chances and being more tactically astute?
then parked the bus
With the players they were missing, did you actually expect them to dominate a Bayern team in their own stadium? Does defending not count as much as attacking? Surely Bayern should have known how Chelsea were going to play, and would have been good enough to break them down? As you have repeatedly stated, Chelsea weren't awesome in defence, so if Bayern couldn't beat an average Chelsea back line then why should they be more deserving of the trophy?

Cech
saved the penalties through his composure and skill, and sure, all teams lean on luck sometimes. That doesn't make them undeserving.
despite being entirely outplayed by the opposition.
and yet they won the game
