Fantastic match going on right now between Chelsea and Napoli.

All tied on aggregate now.

Any predictions about the final ???
I don`t like either team :D but Bayern looks a lot more talented team. But Di Mateo managed to choke Barcelona with his (unodthodox imho) defense.

I think Bayern are the favourites. A better balanced team. More passing, more width, more creativity in the final third. They can beat you in more ways than Chelsea can.

Chelsea's best chances will come on the counter attack. Hoping they can pull it off.

Chelsea won't get lucky again like they did against Napoli and Barcelona.

3-0 Bayern is my prediction.

Oh, by the way, AUF GEHTS BAYERN!

I hate Chelsea with a passion and if that degenerate miscreant John Terry lifts the trophy I will be disgusted.

Kroos - Schweinsteiger
Robben - Muller - Ribery
Gomez

Frightening attack ...

Chelsea's lineup is pretty poor.

Bertrand on the left wing. Kalou on the right wing. Very little help for Juan Mata in terms of creating chances and getting penetration in the final third of the pitch.

Bosingwa at right back who is dodgy defensively. Don't like trusting him in a big game.

Mikel is always a bit of a question mark. Someone who usually gives you a decent game but rarely influences one.

Hopeful over Luiz and Cahill. Both are developing center backs but capable of big performances on the day. Hopefully, that will be the case here. Cech, Cole, Lampard and Drogba are the reliable warriors. If Luiz and Cahill, plus if Juan Mata does his thing, that would give Chelsea a nice spine to their squad.

Still, a couple of weak players there and a few other question marks. Not the most convincing of lineups.

A motivated Didier Drogba will wreak havoc against Bayern's back line.

Go Chelsea  :)

Silly handball by Schweinsteiger. Dangerous early yellow card.

Havoc is a little too strong word imho... mata owes a good game. He was a non factor vs barcelona. Useless stat it's bayern's 4 final against english teams 75 leeds 82(i think)  aston vila 99 man un. T only one victory,  vs leeds

Bayern finding too much space in attacking areas for my comfort.

Especially for so early in the game. Not a good sign.
