Why there? and where it will be?

The competition was originally played over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium, except in exceptional circumstances; for instance in 1991 when Red Star Belgrade were not permitted to play a second leg in their native Yugoslavia due to the civil war which was taking place at the time. Between 1998 and 2012, the final has been a single match, played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco. From 2013 onwards, various stadiums will be used. The following venues for future UEFA

2013: Eden Stadium, Prague, Czech Republic

2014: Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff, Wales

2015: Mikheil Meskhi Stadium, Tbilisi, Georgia

Probable Lineups

Chelsea: Petr Cech; Branislav Ivanovic, Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Gary Cahill; Ryan Bertrand, John Obi Mikel, Raúl Meireles; Eden Hazard, Fernando Torres, Juan Mata

Formation: 4-3-3

Atletico Madrid: Thibaut Courtois; Diego Godín Leal, Filipe Luis, Juanfran, Miranda; Mario Suárez, Koke; Arda Turan, Cristian Rodríguez, Gabi; Radamel Falcao

Formation: 4-4-2

Which source. Seems a so called "journalist" tried to be extra clever taking the respective team's last lineup as "probable lineups".

Usually in football, if a player is on loan to another club (in this case Courtois) and the loaned player's team comes up against his owner's club... that player isnt supposed to play. But the Chelsea Board insisted that Thibaut plays... Am i the only one who sees this as abit dodgy. So i wouldnt be surprised if he makes a couple mistakes tomorrow

I think Courtois will have a great game but Cech is still a bit better so that won't be so much of an advantage to them, I mean our players are used to playing against good and motivated goalkeepers, remember those inspired performances by Hart, Stockdale, Ben Foster or de Gea against us.

Am I the only one or is Mata a bit uneffetive (no assist nor goal in 4 games) due to him featuring in the olympics as well as Euros.

He played all of 3 minutes at the Euros.

Mata has been superb. Just because he isn't scoring or assisting as frequently doesn't mean he's ineffective.

Would you call Iniesta or Xavi uneffective ? They don't get a lot of assists or goals but they do massively contribute to their team.

This is the same for Mata. He's playing in a different role now. Less assists and goals but vital to our attacking game.
