The most universal sport in the world dominated social networks Saturday. Soccer (or "football," depending on your preference) teams Chelsea and Bayern Munich battled in Munich's Allianz Arena for the UEFA Champions League trophy.
Although neither team scored goals within the first 83 minutes, the game turned hectic after late goals for each time. Chelsea's Didier Drogba put away the tying goal to force overtime. Thirty minutes later he again was the hero of the day as he sunk the final penalty kick for Chelsea's win, 4-3. It was the first time the club won the Champions League trophy since its creation.
In other news, Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards rated third on the social TV charts for broadcast shows. Between tributes to Whitney Houston, Donna Summer and Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch, artists like Adele, LMFAO and Chris Brown swept up top awards. And Justin Bieber won Most Social Artist, based on his engagement and high follower counts on social networks like Twitter.
