Conclusion
Carlsen lost must be a disappointing results to many fans but he should not be shame because as the underdog (rating and age) he gave Aronian a very hard times. It is sad to accept Carlsen lost this interesting match by blitz tie-break.... but that's life.
He's still young and i give him 5 more years to be World Champion!
