The Champions League Final - 19/05/2012

Bayern Munich vs Chelsea

Discuss.

 

It'll be a disappointment.

 

Probably.

I have money on:

Robben to score and Bayern to win in 90
Gomez to score and Bayern to win

So hopefully both of those happen. If not, then I want Chelsea to win for Di Matteo's sake.

 

Gomez first scorer and Chelsea to win it in extra time.

Mark my words.

 

Bayern to win. They outplayed Man city off the park in Germany and took the game to Real madrid in Spain. Their attacking force will be too strong for a weak-ish chelsea defence.

Chelsea need the luck, spirit and defence they showed against Barcelona and use their counter attacks to full effect, as they will barely see the ball and Ribery, Robben, schweinsteiger will control the midfield.

 

Munich win please. I don't buy in to this 'they're an English club so we must support them' bollox. I can't stand them, their owner, their crap away end, stupid prices, plastic fans everywhere. I hope they get stuffed.

 

I predict it will be 0-0 at the start.

 

The fact that they would allow terry to get changed and lift the cup if they win has quashed any hope of seeing an English team win it for me, so i'm supporting ze Germans

 

Got to admit, i'm pretty disappointed with that decision too.

 

Chelsea sitting with 11 men behind the ball in a Champions League final. Pathetic.

 

Chelsea have barely had a sniff in the first 25 minutes, pretty much all bayern

 

10 footballers and Bosingwa

 

:sign15: Couldn't have said it any better. Enjoyed them beating Barcelona just because it was an epic game of football and they were massive underdogs. That's been and gone now though. Germans all the way for me.

 

Englishmen supporting a German side over an English one.. What have they done to our game ma?!!

 

im actually backing chelsea in this one. drogba not seen the ball enough at the moment. gomez seems to be a bit frozen. robben just offside there.

i think david luis is the most inept defender ever.

 

There's not much about them that's English anymore.

 

Chelsea for me just to stuff UEFA.

I know they pick the stadium years ahead but at least try and make it nutral
Chelsea 18,000 tickets
Bayern 32,000

Chelsea allowed to train there once, Bayern only once after Thursday night

Bayern get their usual home dressing room

UEFA don't really do a lot to help themselves really

 

If the score ends 1-1, do Chelsea win on away goals?

 

Ha - good point.

 

Same with nearly all of the big European clubs..

If you go by that then international club football is pretty pointless. I'm prepared to ignore it and support the club that is at least based in England.
Added to that there is an added dimention for me, in as much as no Southern club has before won the European Cup.

 

I stopped caring when Apoel Nicosia went out.

Classic Gary Neville reaction once again. He has fast become the greatest football television personality of all time.

 

Neville is very good; unbiased, honest, interested and knowledgeable.

 

The longer this goes on the longer it seems it's Chelsea's night.

 

Yup, time for a go compare advert or something along those lines!

 

I love pens

 

Meanwhile, somewhere in North London, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric call their agents

 

Well the upside is Spuds drop out of the Champions League next season.

 

They rode their luck again, but well done Chelsea. Totally deserved. To knock out Barca over two legs, then to win in Munich, you can't begrudge them.

 

That was written in the stars for Di Matteo!

 

Pleased for Chelsea, but did Ashley Cole just come across as the biggest **** ever in his interview?

 

He has to be given the job now doesn't he?

 

You seem surprised?

Anyway - if there is such a thing - Chelsea is the least worthy Champion ever. However - they won it which means Spurs do not qualify for ChL - I find that tremendously funny.
