Engelberg then quickly surveyed the room and noticed he was the only one standing — indeed, he was the only one smiling — and quietly sat back down. Celebrating a Munich loss in a faux German beer hall, it turns out, is bad form. But that didn't stop Engelberg from smiling. "You've got to stand up in life for what you believe in," said Engelberg, who wore a blue Chelsea jersey to watch the game at the Alpine Village in Torrance. "And so I figured I'm going to do it." Even if he wasn't completely sure he deserved to. "Bayern should have won 5-1," he whispered. "Bayern gave it to them." Indeed, the Germans dominated every statistic but the final score, putting more than twice as many shots on goal, drawing nearly twice as many fouls and taking 20 corner kicks to just one for Chelsea. Thomas Mueller finally broke the spell in the 83rd minute, bouncing a header off the crossbar and behind Chelsea keeper Petr Cech to give Munich a 1-0 lead with less than seven minutes to play in regular time. However, Drogba, the Ivory Coast star whose contract with Chelsea expires next month, was determined not to go out a loser, tying the score with a driving header just inside the near post in the 88th minute to send the game to overtime. Drogba then inadvertently gave Munich a chance to win in the extra period, fouling Franck Ribery in the penalty box. But that turned out to be nothing more than another golden opportunity wasted for Munich when Cech made a diving save on Arjen Robben's penalty shot. Instead, the Bayern fans had to settle for an unsatisfying consolation prize — and in the most stunning way possible, with an English team beating a German team on penalty kicks in a high-profile match. "They are the first host that lost the final," Alexander Hast, a downcast Bayern fan, said as he shuffled out of Alpine Village, the German oompah music in the background now sounding more like a funeral dirge. And to think, all it cost Roman Abramovich, the Russian oil tycoon who bought Chelsea in 2003, was $1.59 billion. "In many ways, Chelsea represents our modern sports world," summed up Fox Soccer studio host Curt Menefee. "A legendary English club, owned by a Russian billionaire, whose star player — an African from the Ivory Coast — just scored the two biggest goals of his life, and at the same time became what we would call a free agent."
