Chelsea to play Bayern Munich in the Final

[Term-X 7,891]

It could also personify the resurgence of the team under Di Matteo.

The white 3rd strip is now the most famous shirt of the season anyway..

The last time a Chelsea shirt donned gold for the first time, it was in a one-off final.. the community shield final. We won, going on to win the title.

Gold + Blue = winning combination.

It will be an El Classico finall they said

What if we go a goal up and need to close out the game and he's on the pitch? Anyway, even going forward in his recent weeks he's a shadow of the player he was at the start of the year. Besides, we've got Torres on the bench to score goals, if we line up the way I think we will.

lol "we've got torres on the bench to score goals" sorry but in terms of goal scoring I don't trust Torres any more than Sturridge. That goal yesterday hasn't changed anything in that aspect.

I get your point but I don't think he's that much of a liability defensively. It's exaggerated imo. And without Ramires it's not as if we have any fantastic options on the right. Anyway imo he should definitely be on the bench as an option at least.

Bloody hell, I'm over my reps already. Sorry Strike, TX and FZ.

Exactly. How hard will it be for him to track back if RDM and co drill it into his mind that he HAS to get back? He will get back and help the defence against ribery in the final and given that bosingwa will likely start at RB, it's a no-brainer that he has to

Maybe u could ask BlueLion or Jim to increase reps to be given since we reached the final. worth a shot

Exactly. Real and Barca collide in Spain all the time, El Clasicos have become a farce. It would be nothing new. It's much more exciting when 2 different leagues and teams who rarely play each other - you don't know what to expect.

This times a million

I think its more exciting when it is two clubs with different playing styles play against each other, its bloody annoying hearing people moaning about it

if it was an El Classico final, I wouldn't bother to watch not even care for the result, as a Bayern fan, I would have been more than happy to see a Real Madrid-Chelsea final.

We have history with Bayern Munich (previous match)? I dont remember.

2005 quarters. 4-2 and 3-2 chelsea won 6-5 on aggregate, more of the same please

Chelsea and Bayern have only met twice back in 2004/05 season, to which Chelsea won the first leg at home 4-2 and Bayern winning the second leg 3-2 with Chelsea advancing

I honestly dont see how that is history

[Predator 114]

2005 quarters. 4-2 and 3-2 chelsea won 6-5 on aggregate, more of the same please

No English club other than Norwich in 1993 has ever been able to beat Bayern at home

Anyway, should be a cracking match, hoping the match is bombarded with goals on both sides

Yep, we played them in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in 2004-05. It was a brilliant matchup; I believe it finished 6-5 on agg.

My favorite Drogba header was in the 2ng leg, found at 1:40 in this video.

One two match are nothing really, its like a new match, Btw thanks! didnt remeber.

[Arief 40]

Yep, especially since Alaba and Badstuber will miss the finals if they win the penalty shoot out. Luis Gustavo as well.

yeah you're right. That's why i prefer Bayern than madrid

.

But the problem is, every team becomes so good when they play in the final.

Even Portsmouth plays like it's the end of the world, because they really want to win.

It's all about the mentality.

UEFA Should get rid of the bloody rule

it makes the final less exciting, and it should be forgiven at the semifinals

I would hate to watch a final game with substitutes in
