Chelsea to play Bayern Munich in the Final

[BosnianLion 232]

People are saying the gold trim on the new jerseys will be nice when we win the CL title.

For me, they've already earned it.

This year was something special. What a group of warriors. What a team.

Their defence even if all players are available looks average, but they will miss Badstuber, Alaba and Gustavo so they look weak without this players.

Surely Terry and Iva are very helpful, but we will still have Cole-Luiz-Cahill-Bosingwa so it's so bad. KEEP FAITH!

No Defence for Both Teams.

we still have cahill and luiz

am hoping there will be no more injuries to our first team for the rest of this season

Cole - Luiz - Cahill is not so bad, but Mr. Unibrow worries me.

Dear UEFA,

^^ Lol, do you really need name tents ontop of RDM and Eddie, i think we know who they are and aren't going to mix them up

IF Bayern are going to get "any sort" of home advantage in the final, then the away goal rule should be allowed too!

Losing ramires for the final is a very big blow for us, we lose our only counter attacking player

[Kojo 4,676]

Gutted of the players we wont have in the final really am. Bosingwa MUST!, perform, by the way do Bayern still have Van Buyton or did he leave?, hope he has left. Because i hope Drogba can bully any players Bayern will have to get. Bosingwa worries me but he must perform!, MUST!. Don't start him centre back, only put him there as a last resort, if Luiz and Cahill are back which i really hope they are then we might just be okay in defence but i really do not know.

Taking John Terry out of the equation, I wonder if an agreement could be made between Bayern and Chelsea, and accepted by UEFA, for all the booked players missing out to be able to play in the final. Three each, they let us have Ramires, Meireles and Ivanovic and we'll let them play Badstubber, Alaba and Guztavo.

You can only dream...however, UEFA have said they would look into the booking/final suspensions issue in future Champs League finals, but not this year. However it would surely be worth a shout if they realise their system is flawed and it would benefit both teams equally.

On a serious note, anybody know who Bayern have in reserve to replace these suspended players? I understand their other two centre backs Van Buyten and Breno (neither of great quality) are injured. Season ending hopefully!

We managed the greatest comeback against the greatest team in Europe... we can deal with what Bayern Munich can throw at us!

This is such a crap rule, players don't deserve to miss out on the final just because of yellows - you'd think UEFA would want full strength teams playing in their showpiece.

[Cripen 110]

Cole - Luiz - Cahill is not so bad, but Mr. Unibrow worries me.

Yeah... Bosingwa isnt a constantly player but he is able to play some good matches

I prefered to face Bayern than Real and it is good for us that they wont have the half of their defence. Defence which even with first-choice players doesnt look so strong like I said before

[Nero 1,838]

van buyten missing the final probably hurt.

[Ramzi 233]

I feel like Bosingwa's pace will allow him to deal with Ribery/Robben's pace. He'll have to play the game of his life.

I agree, this is ruining finals and big events. They need to put a stop to it, it's also causing controversy in the games before because players don't want to tackle or get stuck in as they usually would in fear of getting a card.

[BosnianLion 232]

Cahill - Luiz partnership worries me a bit as well. We know they're good but how will they handle a CL Final together?
