Just not feeling it this year. =/

Chelsea has everything on the line. If they lose, they are out of Champions League next year and if they win, they're in. Chelsea has bunch of players suspended for this game as well. It will be very good game. Chelsea beat FC Barcelona with 1 man down and Bayern beat very hot Real Madrid. It will be hell of a game.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I know, its too much of a feel good story.

Another thing if Chelsea wins, Tottenham lose their champs league spot for next year

First time since 1965 (Inter Milan) that a team plays the final on its home field.

I'm not too excited about the game because of the quality of the two teams playing but for whoever wins it'll be a great accomplishment.

Bayern has to win... Chelsea has bunch of player suspended and playing at Bayern's home...

[thatlookseasy]

Chelsea will be without Terry, Ivanovic, Ramires, and Raul Meireles all from suspension, and Malouda is injured and probably wont play. Apparently Gary Cahill and David Luiz will be returning from injury today, so that should help with depth (Chelsea has been forced to call up a couple youth players to fill out the bench)

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich will be without Luiz Gustavo, David Alaba and Holger Badstuber, who are also all suspended due to cards. So Bayern will be without one of its center backs, its starting LB, and a defensive midfielder (Gustavo) who plays a big role as facilitator.

It will be interesting to see how these teams approach the game tactically with all the players missing- both teams played a counter-attacking style in the semi-finals, but Chelsea spent a lot more time defending. If I had to guess, I think the teams will come out conservatively with both sides missing cover in the back, and Munich wins a tight game 1-0. Chelsea will have to figure out counterattacking without Ramires, who was huge against Barca, and meanwhile Bayern's attack looked really dangerous against Madrid and they will be playing the game at home. Should be interesting!

Drogba with a late goal to tie it up...

[Brooklyn Bully]

Chelsea might be great, but they have the most bandwagon fans of any team of any sport on the planet.
