Oh yay I'm glad I came back to this post, thanks for the pics link, I'm in need of a good CL Champions wallpaper!
About Petr and Arjen, I read Petr's interview about being familiar with the way Arjen takes penalties--something about always favoring the right?--but he also knows that sometimes after playing from 90+ minutes, lots of player would prefer power over techniques, and since he's left-footed and Arjen's left-footed, he can pretty much tell where Arjen will kick it.
The article also mentioned that thing, about Petr learned Bayern's penalties of five years in two hours like he learned his fourth language--Spanish--in a month. Petr is just awesome like that <333
Pretty much every Chelsea UCL game since Napoli has felt like an outlier, something that defies the odds (until we realized that there was in fact a TREND)
That sounds like the most accurate description of our CL campaign I've ever seen, lol.
