He did it because we can afford to do it and my point being it was actually better to take the gamble than not. Would he had done the same if Chelsea had 1 more point? Possibly not.

Right, so

First, it will be to our advantage to keep the league open as far as possible. If we lose, it'll go down to the last game. If we drawn, that's one more game Chelsea had to win instead of resting all their key players depending on our 2nd last game's result. Like how a true hustler try to win his mark by as little as possible and lose a few in return.
Secondly, making Chelsea lose as close as possible is a bigger blow to their confidence and mentality and less time to recover.
Last but not least, we gave them a false prelude of our tactics in the final. Now, they can almost anticipate how we're gonna play in Moscow based on that day and they won't know what hit them when we're through with them.
