Chelsea to play Bayern Munich in the Final

[Predator 114]

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.

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

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.

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

Totally agree with you dude.

Nothing to worry about.Just remember that we overcame a 3-1 deficit and beat Barcelona to come this far.

Badstuber, Alaba and Luiz Gustavo will be out. Great thing about Holger because he is their best defender and Gustavo was also amazing against Real.

Stupid UEFA really...it's just not fair for a team to play the CL FINAL at home....

Seven players in total suspended from both sides, Bayern lack depth in center backs, and this might mean Lahm may go back to being a LB, bringing Rafinha, and probably use Pranjic to take Gustavo's place, while Tymoshchuk plays as a center back. And I cant imagine the changes Chelsea have to make, what kind of a final is that? Might as well make it a pre-season friendly.

2005 quarter finals, Lamps scored a beauty at SB where we won 4-2. Can't find the video but take my word for it, it was one sweet volley.

[termninja 5,290]

Really happy to see Chelsea and Bayern in the final. People have bored the fuck out of the world with Barca and Real, their clasicos, Messi and Ronaldo, Pep and Mou......

Yeah man, completely stupid. Frickin' yellow cards...oh well, it's down to UEFA's and the World's loss, the match won't be as good as it could've been.

Hopefully UEFA get a reform next season. Change some rules, add some technology into the game (goal line technology, replays, etc) and stop being so bloody biased

Actually Chelsea have more adequate solutions for the suspensions at the back than Bayern. We will probably play Bosingwa RB, Luiz and Cahil as CBs, and Cole in the LB, unless someone gets injured. But yes, it is one of the UEFA's stupider rules.

Bayern is so random, i know we can win or lose to them by 3-0.

Ah must be because Chelsea have more depth in their subs, something Bayern lacks due to stubbornness of our board
