Champions League Final 2012 - Chelsea 1 (4)-(3) 1 Bayern Munich

I found out from another msgboard that Robben has a bit of a bug & has high fever. It could keep him out of the match.

hope so mate

Marko Marin is just endearing.

[Ollie 4,400]

I don't think any 'bug' or fever or even the Flu would stop someone playing in the UCL Final. Especially not Robben after all he's been through in this tournament since 2005. This is the pinnacle of club football.

I hope he plays, we've done our homework on him, i'd rather not be against someone unknown with unpredictability. These types of players are dangerous in games like these.

If we win we should have a TC Meet up at the parade, hungover or not. I WILL BE THERE

To all the regulars on this site.

Whether you're in the stadium, in the streets of Munich, overseas, in the pubs around SB or at home with your family....here's hoping we bring the trophy home for the first time in the history of our great club Chelsea FC.

Carefree wherever you maybe.

Proud.

If the match goes to penalties, we're farked.These germans never lose on PKs.FACT.Dunno why though?

[Ollie 4,400]

They did miss 2 tho in the Semi shootout, and if it wasn't thanks to Ramos aiming for a pidgeon they may have lost it.

True but at the end of the day, they still won it. And Neuer did manage to save both Ronaldo & Kaka's penalty, even if they were poorly taken.

yes but i meant germans in general..esp their national team

[Ollie 4,400]

Yeah but we're playing Bayern, not Germany, the team that missed 2 and i'm sure a German missed at least one of the 2, can't remember who missed em now tho off the top of my head.

Would be great for an English team to beat a German team on pens tho, especially in a UCL Final in Germany.... damn how would that feel.

Ah yeah, lovely, thanks

Here's a couple of stats on penalties:

1. Bayern have all won 4 previous penalty shootouts in UEFA competitions:

3-1 vs Real Madrid, 11/12 Champions League 2nd Leg Semi Final

5-4 vs Valencia, 00/01 Champions League Final

9-8 vs PAOK FC, 83/84 UEFA Cup 2nd Round

4-3 vs Atvidaberg, 73/74 European Champions Clubs' Cur 1st Round

Source: UEFA

2. Bayern have scored 13 of 15 penalties they have received this season in all competitions. However, they have missed 1 of 2 penalties given to them in the Champions League this season. Robben scored the one against Real Madrid while Gomez missed the penalty against Napoli in the group stage when Bayern played at San Paolo.

3. Bayern have already played out 2 penalty shootouts this season - vs Borussia Monchengladbach in DFB Pokal Semi Final & Real Madrid in Champions League Semi Final - and they won both.

4. Chelsea have suffered defeat in the previous 2 penalty shootouts in UEFA competitions. (Don't think I need to remind who did we lose to.)

5. Chelsea have only won 2 of their previous 9 penalty shootouts in all competitions. Beaten Fulham in the Carling Cup this year & Man United in the 09/10 season Community Shield.

6. Chelsea have scored 7 of the 12 penalties that were given to them in all competitions this season. In the Champions League though, they gotten 3 and while Luiz missed his one against Genk, Lampard netted the other two against Napoli and Benfica.

I hate these feelings of 'destiny' that keep on coming to my mind
