I think Chelsea have the ability to soak it up, just as they did against Barca, and hitting them on the counter, with the main threat probably from set pieces. I'd imagine the first goal will be very important, if Chelsea nick it the crowd could start to get agitated but if Bayern do they could win the game comfortably.

It was a one off minor miracle they beat Barca, not because they were so valiant and resolute, it was because Barca, inexplicably, could not get the ball in the net. One of those days. Not with that back line they won't. Obviously, I may be completely wrong but I see a pasting coming Chelseas way tonight. They are just not that good without the players missing. |

Having said that, I can see Di Mateo (the young up and coming superstar of football management) doing the same again against Bayern and this is where his luck will run out and his days at West Brom will come to the fore when evaluating his coaching prowess. Although anything can happen in cup football, if Chelsea win this I will be both shocked and appalled. If they do and Terry lifts the cup a little part of my love for football will shrivel and die in a cataclysm of incredulity. |

Even if it was a fluke, their chances are probably better this time to pull it off. |

All the papers say Di Matteo might start Bertrand in this one.
That would be a bold move I guess, handing a start to an unproven, untested youngster in a CL final. But I suppose they will do everything to somehow get Malouda on the pitch. |

Drogba to spend 40% of his game time on the floor, Kalou to turn in a scrappy first half goal, Gomez to miss roughly 6 good chances before equalising in the 85th minute, and Bayern to win 4-1 after extra time.
