Seeing that pass from Makelele :cry:

Claude, how we miss you.

so true. Maka was a quiet genious at work. Amazing how cool he shifts the ball over to Lamps. We never really replaced him. I had hopes that Oriol could become his successor in a way with the attacking minded passes.

More on what Mourinho said last night.

http://www.guardian....ea-heroes-final

And from Jupp Heynckes.

Good on you Mourinho, still behind us and he knows we deserved to beat those Cheats Barca. Anyway, Bayern almost threw away this game, it's not funny, the chances they missed and the fact they almost messed up a 2-0 lead in the Shootout shows how close they came to screwing this up. Although, overall, over the 2 legs surprisingly Bayern were the better team. I don't know how to feel. We wanted Bayern in the final but seeing the way they just bossed Madrid makes me re-think. This will be very tough. Of Course, I'm backing Chelsea. After the Napoli and Barca games I know we can't count out this Chelsea team, no matter the odds

Someone posted that Norwhich were the last English team to beat Bayern at home. Well I think only 2-3 times in the history of the UCL has the home team gone onto win the Final. There'll be pressure on Bayern to deliver this Fairy Tail and hopefully the hoodoo will continue. It's a big positive that they will also miss some players. Alaba and Badstuber will be their biggest misses. Gustavo, although he will be missed, can be replaced by Kroos, and Kroos's position behind Gomez can be played by Muller. So their midfield isn't really weakened too much.

Our midfield will be lacking the direction and speed of Ramires. So I don't see where the Creativity will come from unless we play Mata in the hole. Drogba to start and take advantage of their weakened defence. The 2nd CR7 goal shows that if we can move the ball quickly (Unlikely, I know) we can exploit the spaces their defence leaves. I think we really have to come out and play. We'll get more alot more possession that against Barca. Possession will be shared just about equally IMO. So we need to take our chances when they come.

I really am worried about Ribery/Robben taking on the clown at RB. Kalou will probably play RW and he needs to help the Clown deal with Ribery. I hope Bosingwa plays the match of his life, because than I'll stop calling him a Clown :P Our Midfield should be able to out-posess and out muscle them, particularly if Mata doesn't play in the Midfield. Gomez missed alot of Golden chances. Our CB's SHOULD be able to take care of him, but they need to be careful of the diagonal runs he makes. He isn't too pacy but his positioning is good.

The wingers of Bayern will undoubtedly be our biggest concern and perhaps is the key to the entire match. Also, Torres and Drogba playing together could be a radical option. I hope RDM doesn't approach this game in an overly defensive and cautious frame of mind. We can definitely play Football with Bayern. I have a good feeling about this. Predicting a win, the scoreline could be absolutely anything though. If we play to our Maximum and take our chances we could smash Bayern. One thing is for sure though, the Players wil be very hungry for this!

So, if we win, there are 30 medals to hand out. Whats that then, 18 for the matchday squad, probably 5 for those who were suspended plus one for Paulo for being awesome; and 7 for the backroom staff? Eva deserves one :P

Anyone who played a part in the UCL should get one. I'm sure there are 30 players deserving of it. I hope Paulo gets one, brilliant loyalty from him and a great guy. :D

I have never missed a penalty in a Champions league semifinal. You jelly, Messi and Ronaldo?

The best teams in the world, the best league in the world, and the best players in the world and not in the final!

This is why sports is great. Unpredictability is the name of the game.

Do you folks remember the video made by CarefreeChris? Road to Moscow. A video of us fighting in the Champions League season and getting to the final. I would be amazing to have a similar one.
