Stand up boys, you are now men.

I congratulate you on you immense achievment.

You both carried injurys, that was plain to see last night.

To come into the team as cover for our two regular CB's (including the club captain) and keep the mighty Bayern down to one goal (a miss timed header) in their brand new super duper stadium was an absolute immense achievement.

You are legends.

I did not notice Luiz limping, but I definitely saw Cahill limp and grab his groin after doing the splits to try to deny Gomez at the 43rd minute, when Gomez really should have scored.

Luiz looked the more knackered during E/T, but he still stepped up to smash in his peno, LEGEND.

Both were fantastic.

European Champions 2012!!!

Too bad for Hodgson that his best stopper forced himself so hard :). The penalty from Luiz is the best I've ever seen, even better than Zidane's in 06.

It was a great penalty, but if you just look at the way he takes the penalty, I don't think you can do it any better than Ballack here(sorry about the poor video):

There just isn't a goalkeeper in the world who could stop that.

Ashley Cole has something to say about that!

I have the upmost respect for these lads going out and playing the match of their lives when not 100%, well done boys. Both deserve a well deserved rest!!

Luiz was definitely limping in the first 10 minute or so, he went to chase a ball and pulled up and me and my dad both noticed it and were worried he was gonna have to go off. But he battled through and was outstanding.

Yeah, Ballack is a legend too, but Luiz... I mean, I used to do that when I was 5-6 years old. 20 meters of running before hitting the ball, always ending up tired before hitting it. He could have gone on a coffee break with the time it took to reach the ball.
