Gotze Slams Defensive Chelsea

Mario Gotze has admitted that Bayern Munich are still hurting after their Champions League heartbreak but says he remains proud that Pep Guardiola's men bowed out playing their possession-based brand of football rather than resorting to Chelsea's preferred tactic of 'parking the bus'. The Bavarians were beaten 5-0 on aggregate by Real Madrid in this season's semi-finals, slumping to a shock 4-0 loss at the Allianz Arena less than a week after a narrow 1-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. Guardiola and his players were criticised for placing too much importance on keeping the ball, but Gotze is glad that Bayern stuck to their attacking principles instead of trying to imitate the defensive tactics of a side like Chelsea, who were beaten 3-1 on aggregate by Atletico Madrid in the other last-four clash - despite battling their way to a dour 0-0 draw in the first leg at the Vicente Calderon.
