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

[Predator 114]

But even when Luiz and Cahill come back, they wont be 100% match fit, therefore slowing them down.

Luiz and Cahill will probably get some minutes against Blackburn and im sorry but to say your not worried about Tymoschuk anymore after that game? Drogba is a completely diifferent animal to every other striker in the world

[Predator 114]

Yes yes, but Im sure Boateng has got him covered, he didnt perform that well as a cb against Koln, but Im pretty sure he will step up for this game

anyway, thats just me

I'm reading some of your posts and I don't quite agree.

van Buyten will probably play. He has to. Tymo showed he's no good as a CD. He's OK in CDM, but he's not got the tactical awareness of a central defender. Today is the fourth consecutive day in which van Buyten is training. OK, his last match was in January, but I'm sure he'll be fit come 19th May. He's going to be out of match practice, however.

As for Kroos-Schweinsteiger, in our forum we were actually saying how bad it was. They provided the defence with no cover.

My prediction for the CL final:

----------------------Neuer

Rafinha---Boateng---van Buyten---Lahm

--------------------Tymoshchuk

-------------Schweinsteiger

Robben--------Kroos-------------Ribery

-------------------Gomez

Even so, Luiz and Cahill will rise to the occassion

I thought having just the one leg made it better for us, personally

IMO, we have to win for this season to be considered a success. FA Cup and top six isn't good enough despite us being in transition.

Lose and we'll be in the Europa next season, win and we'll be Champions League holders.

No doubt...

Bayern also have to win. There is a good chance that Bayern will lose the German Cup final considering they lost the last 4 matches against Dortmund.

Furthermore, Bayern have lost so many Champions League / European Cup finals that winning this one is a must now.

Out of the last 5 CL/EC finals Bayern participated in, they only won once, in 2001, on penalties.

Qualification round

http://www.premierle...play-in-europe/

English winners of the UEFA Champions League finishing outside the top four places (but who qualify for the UEFA Europa League through their domestic Barclays Premier League position) go forward as Winners to the group stage along with domestic champions, runners-up and third place.

Sounds like all 4 teams go straight into the group stage
