If they keep the deficit down to 2 goal margin it'll be a good night.

Bayern aren't all that anymore, even Paderborn put two past them in their own backyard. I'm backing Chelsea to surprise people today.

I definitely hope that Chelsea studied them as exhaustingly as you did. I don’t see Bayern trashing them, but the Paderborn game is not a good comparable.

Just watched the 2012 final highlights. Honestly had no recollection that Bayern missed a penalty in extra time. I watched that game live and if you asked me 5 minutes ago I would be absolutely sure that it never happened. Weird.

Can't believe Muller is still playing. Is he also fan of ManUtd and had eife/girlfriend that plays tennis? Go on Ed, you know what to do. Noooo

Barring Gnabry and Coman, it's probably the two slowest CL last 16 lineups ever. Massive lack of pace in Chelsea side tonight, a big worry.

I think Chelsea might have a chance here, at least for a draw. Bayern arent very good In knockout Stages generally

Don't think Chelsea's defense is good enough to contain Bayern's attack. Bayern have scored in every game they've played this season, I think Chelsea would need to be the first ones to stop them if they want to have a good chance in Munich.

How is Napoli this season? Should I watch that or Chelsea?
They've been better in the Champions League than the league. Watched them recently against Italy's worst team, Brescia, and they struggled to open them up in the first half but after they leveled early in the 2nd it was game over. Good form, 6 wins in the last 7 including against Italy's top 3. I'd say that one because you don't know what you'll get from Napoli or Barca.

Both Bayern / Chelsea team looks weak in my opinion, Bayern playing with no steel in the midfield though I like Kimmich for his technical prowess he's certainly not a physical individual. I reckon Chelsea could get a result here

Mmm still kind of switching between em. You make a good point, but I really dislike Barca...

It happend, trust me. Unfortunately, i remember it as if it was yesterday.

That game was more painful for me than 99, and that means a lot.

Really thought that was the end of Robben at Bayern. He wasnt very popular for a while after that right?

bayern are such a delight to watch. Wish we could replace their coaching staff with ours. every single player can pass and move. I long for the day we consistently do the same.
