of course a more balanced view as that they defended well and got some luck and therefore got a just about deserved win against the better side.
how do you define better other than through your subjective determination?
The better side is the one which uses its talents and strategy to win. That is the purpose of the game.
Luck? Barcelona hit the post. Not luck. Chelsea cleared off the line. Not luck. The former happened because Barcelona were not on target. The latter because the defender was correctly positioned. You cannot say that a failure of talent by one side is luck favouring the other.
