UEFA Champions League/Europa League 24/25/26 April *** Spoilers ***

[4T5]

I can't remember a time when football has been this good.

 

[Andybtsn]

Chelsea could easily beat this Bayern side, they're really not that good but they will be on home turf so that could be the swinger for them

Pretty rubbish final in truth tbh

Surely that makes for a competitive final then, which is a good thing for the neutral?

 

[Somnambulist]

Avoided the pens. Madrid were poor in truth and Bayern over two legs probably deserved it more.

I think Chelsea might have a chance to actually do this. Yes Bayern are playing at home, but you wouldn't put it past them winning it ugly.

If it goes to penalties against a German team they should have to take them with their ears, did ANYONE think Bayern would lose the penalty shootout?

I know it's a well talked about topic but the Germans have absolutely ridiculous records in penalty shootouts.

How many players that took a pen are German?

 

[benjo]

Chelski will not beat them on their own ground.

Everyone said the same for Barca!

I think it could go either way.

 

[Tom84]

huh?

Two pretty poor teams, Chelsea 25 points behind their domestic leaders, Bayern 8 points behind theirs, real lack of quality in both sides, could easily seeing it finishing 0-0 and going to pens again

 

[Andybtsn]

How many players that took a pen are German?

Lahm, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Gomez, not sure on the right back?

I'm having a party on Friday, do you want to come?

 

[dargab]

Chelski will not beat them on their own ground.

After seeing yesterday's match...honestly anything is possible.

that makes it a great final, two even teams, both will go for it, no underdogs

Lahm, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Gomez, not sure on the right back?

always thought Gomez was Mexican

 

[Cosimo]

We don't have anything to fear from Bayern. Bring them on, we'll have a cracker.

 

[FeFiDoh]

The 2-3x the final has been played in Munich it has produced a first time winner of the CL, an omen?

 

[Azza]

How many players that took a pen are German?

Gomez, Lahm, Kroos, Schweinsteiger - though two of them did miss. Alaba is Austrian.

 

[Steedie]

Ramos' penalty just landed in my garden

 

[Double07]

I don't think people should 'feel' for Jose. The two supposed best teams in the world blew 2-0 first half leads, they don't have a right to win at that level. I don't like Chelsea but under RDM they are a the same side but very different, took some heart to ride their luck and beat Barca over two legs. And not a little bit of skill, hard work and detmination (yeah and diving but that can be said about them all).

Real had it in the bad, Bayern showed amazing resilience to not buckle and deserved to win. I really like the way Bayern are playing these days, very good to watch.

There was a real lack of quality tonight as well and that to me didn't make a great game it made it frustrating (maybe because I was rooting for Bayern as I will be in the final)

 

[pingwing]

Perfect game, cannot wait for the final now! (and what will hopefully not be De Matteo's final game too)

 

[Nogimmix]

Don't mention the war

 

[Purdy]

Unsurprising Alonso the only one with enough about him to beat the keeper

 

[Robbo]

I'll be behind Chelsea in the FA Cup final and Champions League final then, all the best to them.
