This year's final is the competition's 131st, but it's the first time that Chelsea and Liverpool met in the Wembley showfield despite sharing a massive 43 FA Cup Semi-Final appearances between them.

Liverpool will be aiming for their second domestic trophy on Wembley ground this season having won the League Cup against Cardiff City earlier in the year. But it was Chelsea who bagged the trophy this time which brought vindication to them for all their hard works.

Cliff-hanging Win

Chelsea showed all the inner strength built up over the last decade during the closing period of a game they looked to have under complete control after Ramires put them ahead in the 11th minute and Drogba made it 2-0 with a clear strike in the 52nd.

Three of the four Chelsea players were banned for the Champions League final but played significant parts in the win.

Ramires scored the opening goal. Terry gave a solid all-round performance and Branislav Ivanovic thwarted Liverpool's best chance of the first half when he made a crucial block to stop a fierce drive from Craig Bellamy.

Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish lamented his side's slow start to the match and thought his players were naive.

"For the first hour they were better than us. Maybe a bit of naivety from our point of view or experience from theirs but if we have had more of the game with the pace we showed later, we might have had a better score", Dalglish said.
