( CNN ) -- Chelsea spent the weekend celebrating a first European Champions League triumph after a dramatic defeat of Bayern Munich , but the English club 's record signing Fernando Torres was far from happy for the majority of Saturday 's historic win . The Spaniard was left out of the starting lineup for the clash at the German team 's Allianz Arena , with Chelsea 's interim coach Roberto di Matteo deciding to play Ivory Coast forward Didier Drogba alone in attack . Di Matteo 's decision paid dividends , as Drogba scored Chelsea 's 89th-minute equalizer in the 1-1 draw before converting the winning penalty in a nail-biting shootout . Torres , who has struggled for form since joining Chelsea from Liverpool in a British-record $ 80 million deal in January 2011 , described being on the bench for European club football 's most important match as `` perhaps the biggest disappointment in my life . '' Munich mourns as Bayern blow big chance . `` I thought I would play in this game and I could n't imagine not doing so , '' the 28-year-old , who was introduced as an 82nd-minute substitute once Bayern had taken a 1-0 lead through Thomas Muller , told Spanish journalist Guillem Balague . `` But in the end I could participate and offer the team something . I 'm really happy . '' Torres scored just six league goals last season , although he did enjoy a productive end of the campaign after netting a hat-trick against Queens Park Rangers and the decisive goal in Chelsea 's Champions League semifinal victory over Barcelona . Despite Torres ' important contribution at Barca 's Camp Nou stadium , Drogba has been Di Matteo 's preferred striker in Chelsea 's recent important matches . Jubilant Chelsea parade Champions League trophy . Torres was also on the bench for the London club 's English FA Cup final win over his former club Liverpool . `` There have been a lot of ups and downs , '' he said . `` There have been many times when I 've felt lost , I was not sure what to do . I felt like I did n't know where I belonged . `` This season I have felt things that I never had before . I 've felt like they treated me in a way that I did n't expect , not in the way that was spoken of when they signed me . `` We 've had a lot of talks and we 'll talk about my future at the end of the season because the role I 've had this season is not for me , nor is it the one I expected to play when I came here . I 'm not comfortable . '' The next goal for Torres is to be included in Spain 's squad for the forthcoming European Championships in Poland and Ukraine , with coach Vicente del Bosque set to name his 23-man squad on May 27 . Torres scored the winning goal as Spain beat Germany in the final of the 2008 tournament in Austria and Switzerland , but his inability to cement a place in Chelsea 's team has cast doubt over his international future . The former Atletico Madrid striker has been included in the world champion 's squad for the upcoming friendly matches against Serbia and South Korea , along with Chelsea teammate Juan Mata . `` I 'll be hoping to be on the list when it is announced , '' he said . `` I feel better than ever , hungrier than ever , but that 's what football is like -- often , when you feel you 're at your best they do n't consider you . '' Meanwhile , Saturday 's final attracted the attention of some very powerful spectators across the Atlantic . At a G8 summit at Camp David in Maryland , U.S. President Barack Obama took in the action alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel . It was Cameron who ended the match the happier , but the two European leaders were able to embrace at the climax of a thrilling final .
