2011-2012 CL Final: Bayern - Chelsea

[xaviniesta]

we all know that torres will score the winning goal...it's the di matteo effect

:dimatteo:

 

[impeh]

tis annoying we're not there tbh. This was probably the easiest year to defend it. Both manchester clubs out, didnt draw madrid or bayern, and the worst chelsea team in a long time.

Hopefully it will be entertaining. Cant see past bayern though, being at home..

Chelsea will only have a chance if they play like they did against us, not Liverpool..but even then they will need lady Luck on their side. Anyway, I expect a boring game.

I still can't believe that we weren't able to beat the worst Chelsea from the last 8 years.

Once del Chelsea: Cech, Cole, Luiz, Cahill, Bosingwa, Mikel, Bertrand, Lampard, Mata, Kalou, Drogba.

Once del Bayern: Neuer, Boateng, Lahm, Contento, Tymoschuck, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Ribery, Robben, Mario Gómez

From eurosport:

Bertrand, who has never played in the Champions League, was not even in Chelsea's squad for the group stage, and has most commonly been used this season as Ashley Cole's understudy at left-back.
However, the 22-year-old played 47 minutes in midfield against Blackburn, and has been used there in training this week.

 

[Metaphysical]

he's a quality young LB. decent at the back, good going forward. they'll use him to prevent Bayern overloading down their right (tho I'd use him to help Bosingwa shackle Ribery onthe other flank, tbh).

 

[xaviniesta]

nah, ashley cole would probably play there. he is more attacking i guess, maybe on the left wing or something. 22 year oled enlgishman... the di matteo effect should allow him to score at least one goal.

Come on Bayern!

 

[el tren]

so they prolly shut down robben with him and cashley. also guarding lampards moves forward i guess...

 

[jamrock]

have a feeling it will be a chealse win, bayern will be more affected by thier suspension. hope i am wrong

 

[Beast]

Hard to decide between them.. i'll just enjoy the game but i want Chelsea to win just for the Cinderella story

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

vamos BAYERN!!!

Riberry will tear it up tonight.

 

[ivan22]

bayern defense will be even weaker without alaba & badstuber. bayern would get destroyed by every other team, unfortunately chelsea will defend like pussys. sad final
