Champions League Final: FC Bayern vs Chelsea

[Adi]

Yeah, it's gonna be a top, top match... either team can win it.  I definitly don't think it will be a stroll in the park.  The more I think of you line up the more difficult it seems.

Very excited though!

We just got hammered 5:2 by Dortmund in the Cup final. Dortmund has beaten us 5 times in a row.

Defense was terrible. A little worried but I'm sure we'll step it up.

Bayern should be clear favorite in this game. Home court (which is ridiculous imo, shouldnt be possible) + chelsea has soo many suspended players.

I'm still nervous.  We are also without Badstuber, Alaba, and Gustavo... those are all key players from our defense... we are already weak enough defensively when they play so this could be a problem.  We were terrible defensively against Dortmund a week ago and lost 5-2 in the Cup final.
