It was not a classic, except for a terrific goal and two brilliant saves by Schmeichel, but I'm really glad Leicester won it. 4 lost finals in their 137 year history and the most likeable team in the league IMO.

While I was wanting Chelsea to lose, I'm still unhappy about VAR. Yes, the decision was technically correct as it was offside by a miniscule margin when looking at the photo finish still. But it shouldn't be if the world were just. There's absolutely no advantage to be had in such a marginal offside situation so the raison d'etre of the offside law doesn't apply. I'd say the law needs to be refined in light of the fact that VAR is sadly not going to go away. It just feels wrong the way it is now.
