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

His Madrid goal was a tap in, and the others were scored in the group stage. 4 of his 12 CL goals came in the 7-0 win over Basel, and Bayern were already 3-0 up before he scored.

The only big goal he has scored this season was the opener away at Marseille, and a scrappy shin from about 3 yards in the Madrid game.

Out of form or not, we can't underestimate anyone from the Bayern's starting XI. Take your eyes of them and they can hurt you.

That's what he does, he scores goals. His positioning and movement is incredible, which allows him to score those tap ins. And I was talking about his overall goal-scoring record in the CL.

Nobody's saying he's an amazing all-round footballer but he's an amazing goal-scorer. I'd love to have someone in our team who scores 40 tap ins per season.

Fair enough, but I am of the opinion he'll be a red herring.

I hope you're right, I want that cup.

One of the best and truest posts I've ever read about Gomez, and it isn't even on a Bayern forum. Couldn't agree more.

As for his ability to perform in the big games: the CL matches are the big games. Those are the only matches where the whole team plays with 100% motivation. I wouldn't say Bayern are bored of winning domestic competitions, but it's not too far off. He scored 12 goals in some 9.5 matches so far. Whether or not he dribbles past 6 players before scoring, it still counts as 1 goal at the end of the day.

Right now for the serious stuff.... 6 days to go, can't wait.

Imagine the feeling of winning the CL trophy.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

[Billy. 2,739]

[RamiCFC9 258]

So if we win against Bayern, we will fuck up spurs.Motivation can't be any higher then that !

I will be on cloud 9 now if we win. As if winning the European Cup wouldnt be enough but to now be able to put the yids out of next seasons CL would be Phenomenal. COME ON CHELSEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Nerves are kicking in already.. I've been nothing but nervous in all the big games Chelsea have played this season: United, Arsenal, Valencia at the Bridge, City, FA Cup Final, Newcastle, Napoli and Barcelona.

The ref for the final has been picked, Pedro Proença from Portugal.

A heads up from the 'motherland'... this ref is the symbol of corruption in our country. You've been warned, that man and his team always defend one side of the game in the interest of their pockets. Good luck for the final, and I dearly hope to see a good game without the typical tricks this master of magic usually pulls...

I honestly think Jupp Heynckes purposely had his team play softly.

The way the defense seemed careless made it obvious. I just hope Boateng gets his shit together tbh

If a manager tells his players to play softly, then he needs to be sacked. No manager in whatever sport is ever going to tell his team to play soft let alone in a final.

Why not play your fringe players instead and make them play "hard".....

We have Portuguese players and they don't.

How do you know their interests don't lie in Chelsea winning? Maybe Roman's coughing up the big bucks after the '09 debacle, lol.
